Overview
The Crown Automotive 83503064 is a rear wheel bearing for Dana 44 and Model 20 axles. It covers Jeep models from the 1966-1973 Commando through the 2007-2018 Wrangler JK, a long run of older Jeep trucks and SUVs.
Use it to replace a worn or damaged rear wheel bearing on any of the covered models. Match the axle type on your vehicle first, because the Dana 44 and Model 20 are different housings.

Matching the axle before buying
Dana 44 and Model 20 housings look similar from the outside but use different bearing and seal arrangements, so the axle type matters more than the model name. Once the axle is confirmed, the bearing’s fit on the shaft and the condition of the bearing race in the housing decide whether the new part will last. A worn race can wear a fresh bearing unevenly, so inspect it whenever the bearing is replaced.
Rear wheel bearings on these Jeeps often wear faster in trail use, where water, mud and heavy loads add stress. Service the bearing at the same time as the seal and axle shaft if they are already open, and keep the grease level and quality consistent. Check for play at the wheel after a few drives, since a loose bearing shows up as a clunk or wobble before it fails outright.
- Confirm the axle type before buying
- Inspect the bearing race when replacing the bearing
- Check wheel play after the first few trail runs
