Yes, they are indeed the same. I put Timkens on mine and I'm very happy with them. The only thing you need to look out for that year is if you have cast iron rotors or composite rotors. They used both that year and they take two different hubs. If you're changing your rotors as well then no need to worry. Just make sure they match the hubs you're buying. Otherwise you will need to find out first. Kind of a pain.

Thanks! I did mine at the same time. Might as well wile you're in there. You could even take the opportunity to pull your axles and do front U-joints if you haven't done that yet.
