Front Dana 30 and rear Dana 35 axle seal / bearing part numbers

[Slow Eddie]

I am putting a parts list together for some work I'm doing on my axles in my 1997 and wanted to ask which brands or parts numbers were preferred for the following parts. I have searched the site as well as Rock Auto but I don't know which brands are best.

Dana 30 Inner Axle Seal
Dana 30 Wheel Hub Unit Bearing
Dana 35 Outer Axle Seal
Dana 35 Outer Wheel Bearing

Also, correct me if this statement is incorrect. The Dana 30 has inner seals but no outer, and the Dana 35 has outer but no inner.

Thank you.

I'm not 100% sure on the part numbers, but all you have to do is download the part catalog here and you can easily find them:

Jeep Wrangler TJ Factory Service Manuals (FSM) & Technical Documentation

As for brands, Spicer and Timken are top brands.

Also, no, there are no outer seals.

You are correct.. about the location of the seals...
Dana 30 hub bearings should be Timken
Dana 35 axle bearing should be Timken or Spicer (if available)

Rock Auto is a good source for parts and part numbers.

Thank you both. I do have the parts manuals but I was having a hard time finding the Dana 35 rear inner seal on Rock Auto. It seems readily available other places though so no big deal.

Thanks for the tips on the Timken bearings. That’s what my research had said but I wanted to make sure Timken was still the go to.

As for the seal placement I was thinking the Dana 30 had an outer and the Dana 35 had an inner even though I couldn’t seem to find them in the parts manual. Probably just seal and bearing replacement YouTube hangover.
