i just got a price online for my front wheel bearing 210.00 for one side.WOW!!!!! i think the rhio's are like 38.00 a side i sure ain't putting the hpx in anymore mud . i guess they got the 5 years worth out of them for sure but man thats alot of money.i'm fixin to go into the dealer to see if they are any cheaper it's gonna cost me close to 300.00 cause i need a cv boot too. has anyone bought one from a aftermarket supplyer cheaper?

man it must be nice to own a xuv. i just got back from the jd dealer we went over the parts list and your right about your price the xuv bearing is 18.00 but the hpx bearing is 54.00 plus tax and then add another 10.00 for overnight shipping. the guy was kinda puzzled at first when i showed him a printout of your invoice until he done some searching then the computer came up with the parts number that you have fell under the xuv and my number came up with a hpx. oh well atleast she's gonna be fixed.

i thought so to but NOT!!! oh well. then get this there is a ring holding the bearing in from the outsside but nuthing holding the bearing in from the inside???i guess they are hopeing the shaft holdes it in place now another thing i nothiced is these bearing look alot like boat trailer axle bearing so guess where i'm going torrow mornin.lol i'm gonna go ride by west marine and academy sports to see if i cane match up these things . i sure hope i can find a match cause i wanna try and do the other side too they ain't bad but i figure why not do them too plus why not try to find a cheaper after market matchup for them not to mention wouldn't a marine bearing last a bit longer than these being it's ment to be submerged under salt /fresh water all the time??

If that bearing has a part no. on it you should be able to cross reference it at NAPA or Carquest or if you have applied bearings or kaman you should be able to find one for less than 20.00.
