Spicer Rear Wheel Bearing, Seal & Retainer Kit for Jeep Wrangler, Cherokee & CJ (Dana 44, Single Side)

Eliminate harsh rear wheel end vibrations, stop gear oil leaks from weeping onto your brake assemblies, and restore smooth highway performance with this genuine Spicer Rear Axle Wheel Bearing & Seal Kit. Specifically packaged as a premium component refresh for Jeep Dana 44 solid rear axles, this single-side package replaces the critical outer wheel bearing, oil barrier, and mounting lock ring.

On non-c-clip Dana 44 rear axle configurations, the vehicle's weight and heavy cornering thrust forces are handled directly by a single tapered roller bearing assembly pressed onto the outer end of each axle shaft. Over high mileage, oversized off-road tires, or water submersion on the trail, the internal rollers pit, gall, and dry out. A failing outer wheel bearing typically announces itself through a low-pitched howling or groaning noise that changes frequency with vehicle speed. Simultaneously, the companion outer seal hardens, allowing gear oil to escape the housing tube and saturate your rear brake pads or shoes, drastically reducing braking efficiency.

This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) service kit provides a factory-correct solution to overhaul one rear axle shaft station. Because these components must be hydraulically pressed onto the shaft, the included steel lock collar is a strictly single-use item that must be replaced during installation. Sourcing genuine Spicer components guarantees exact original manufacturing blueprints are met, offering the precise steel tempering, tapered roller alignment, and multi-lip rubber geometry required to survive heavy trail obstacles and daily commuting.
