Anyone know who sells a new 95 Geo Tracker front Wheel assembly for a 4x4? Was hoping to find a quality one with the bearings and seals. I don't know if my LSi had ABS plan on looking this weekend but want to find the parts so I can start planning.
Thanks

What exactly do YOU consider a "front wheel assembly"?
A "wheel" is generally the assembled tire & rim combination - no bearings or seals involved. Are you looking for a complete front hub?
-
Yes the hub, my locking hubs mounting bolts have been cross threaded - I thought NAPA had a set but now can't locate a set. Since I need new wheel bearings now is the time to replace the setup and possibly other parts that are worn. I see some used on eBay but want to see if I can locate a quality aftermarket set with good bearings since its used a little harder than most vehicles are.
Don't they still sell Sidekicks/Trackers in South America as Escudo's? You wonder if the parts are the same.

When you replace the bearings and seals, you have replaced the parts that wear. So getting a used hub that hasn't been cross threaded, or ran until the bearings have disappeared, is close to getting a new one. Whether you or a shop do the work, make sure they are torqued to factory specs. Most do not, the first time. 150 psi seems unreal. And it takes a special socket that costs 50 bucks (and it isn't hard to break off one of the tabs around 125 psi, so keep it square).

As far as I know the vehicles you know as Sidekicks/Trackers are no longer being built anywhere in the world - they stopped making first gens somewhere around 2002/2003, second gens were made up to maybe 2012/2013. Third gens, I believe are still being made, but I don't think they will continue to make them for much longer.
