No, I don't lick fish.
I can't honestly answer that man. I've only had experience with Timken and I've never had any problem out of them. I've never used Moog bearings.

Old fart with a wrench
If you want MY opinion, Timkin has been making ball & roller bearings since they started business in 1898, Moog makes really good suspension parts like tie rod ends and bushings since 1919. Timkin made most of the bearings for military equipment during WWII and engine bearings for Pratt&Whitney. Yes, some are made overseas now, but they still have to pass quality control.
I always go with Timkin for bearings and Moog for suspension joints. I just put 2 Moog lower balljoints in my WJ because they were the only ones that were greaseable. They came from the UK and I'll grease them again when I have to take it apart for front shafts or hub bearings, IF I can get the plugs out!

Only bearings worth buying are Timken or SKF as far as I'm concerned. Timken is the Jeep OE.
I edited my post to reflect the context. You guys get your panties un-twisted.

Same motor, same tranny ( pretty sure) but rear axle....4 door has ABS, the 2 door, not. Again not sure if that makes a difference. Was hoping to swap rear ends eventually since the 2 door has been banging ever since I've owned it. The ABS is all in the master cylinder, correct?
4.0L auto is 4.0L auto. They'll swap just fine.
(exception to this rule is pre-1987 with a weird looking "stick in a can" CV joint instead of a double cardan)

Does anyone know the difference between '97-'99 XJ radiators and '00-'01? Part numbers are different. I have a '98, but the '00 radiator is about half the price.
