Hi Guys,
I am having a hard time finding seals for my front wheel bearings. I do see them included in $$ kits, but haven't come across the seals by themselves. QUESTION: I have new 80mm Timken bearings. Would Timken seals work in my 2005? TIA!

 

Have you tried SNG Barratt ?

Thanks, but no luck there.

 

There is no 'bearing seal' in addition to the bearing assy. MNC1830AA. (the seal is integral)

Jaguar issued a TSB a few decades ago to address the 'Grease Deflector-Ring'.

I have no idea what you are looking for?

 

I'm probably confused as it's my first experience with the bearings, so I'm learning as I go. I found the bearings themselves on RockAuto, but I keep seeing "kits" online for Jags that include seals. Cary Jaguar of Virginia told me they had a kit that included the bearing and the seals. I am going to remove the hubs and deliver them to an indy to remove and replace the bearings, so I want to make sure I have all he needs. I have the bearing and circlips. Do you mean there are no seals needed, and would a 2005 need a grease deflector ring?

 

I have replaced a few dozen X100 and X308 front hub bearings. (both 76mm and 80mm)
The bearing and circlips are all that is required.

The deflector ring is fitted at the factory to later cars (as described in the TSB) but sometimes it is left out at bearing replacement. (or destroyed by a failed bearing)

 

Thanks, Bob. That explains why I can't find the seals. So, it seems like the deflector ring is more preventive than essential. Not sure of the status of mine.
