Time for a Brake...


Anything less is only half a brake job

 

Nice present!!Hope the hubs come out easily.

 

Your XJ8 will have a Merry Christmas indeed. I believe in completeness as well. What brand wheel hubs are you using?

 

Thanks NEO, if they don't, I can reattach the wheel and use a little force.

 

I use Koyo. They are the OE fitment. (yes, they can be pricey)

 

In this instance though, I believe you get what you pay for..

 

At 115,000 miles it is time. Four Denso sitting on the shelf. Waiting on me.
I cheaped out on hubs, rotors, pads, and hardware back in 2015. Detroit Axle, AC Delco, and Raybestos.

 

O2's do slow in response over time, and can be poisoned by silicon or non-OAT coolant. It's good you've included it in your maintenance.

 

The dialogue above got me to searching for Koyo wheel hubs for my 04 XJR ( Jaguar pn C2D38988 ).
I came across some interesting info I thought I'd share:

The US supplier/manufacturer of Koyo hubs is: JTEKT North America Corporation located in Plymouth MI.
I came across an interesting catalog with some wheel hub technical info: Koyo Ball (Auto Wheel) Hub solutions

For anyone interested enough to view the catalog there is a list of recommended hubs on page 6 (of 7).
I would be curious to know the Koyo pn on Koyo hubs anyone has purchased and installed.
I'm curious to see if the Jaguar hub is listed in this catalog.
