[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 1464310, member: 118"] I need two front wheel bearings for a spare front wheel I got years ago. I was just doing a little research and interestingly enough, they changed the part number for the front wheel bearings going from Gen II to Gen III. Odd. I thought the wheels were identical...... More research shows the that every other part including the wheel itself, spacer, collar, ABS sensor, and seals are all the same. Oh, and it's a whopping $.50 more for the Gen III bearing from Parts Shark. $21.31 vs $21.81. So, why did the bearing change part numbers???? The extra wheel I have is from a Gen III. I can get some Gen II front bearings for relatively cheap. So, the million $$$ question is can I use the Gen II bearings in a Gen III wheel? Since the wheel is the same, I would say the answer is yes. But, then why have different part numbers at all? Fyi, I interchange wheels from my Gen II to Gen III FJRs all the time depending on what wheel/tire combo I want to run currently with no issues over thousands of miles. [/QUOTE]
