Default Will the front upright from an 03 3.2 Sport fit a 98 XJR?

I have a wheel bearing on my XJR with some play, and a 2003 3.2 parts car I bought for the interior. Swapping the complete hub will be much easier than replacing the bearing but are the compatible in terns of geometry, ABS ring/sensor etc?

Thanks

The short answer is yes it’ll all work with your car. The wheel bearing is about 4mm smaller (if memory serves me) in the 98’ vs 99’+. I upgraded my 98’ XJR front knuckles to accommodate the larger wheel bearings when I put the 19” Montreal’s on my car.

Yeah Id spotted the different bearings, but I'll gladly have the larger bearing upgrade and save the hassle and money for now!
Good to know the geometry etc is the same.
Thanks
