Overview
The G2 Axle and Gear 30-8002 is a front wheel bearing kit for one side of the Jeep CJ, containing every part needed for that wheel end. It covers the 1966–1976 CJ3, CJ5, CJ6 and CJ7.
G2 Axle and Gear says its wheel bearing kits provide the items needed to replace front or rear wheel bearings. This kit has a Timken inner bearing and race, a Timken outer bearing and race and a wheel bearing seal.
It fits the front position on Dana 25, Dana 27 and Dana 30 Standard axles. The title reads 63-76 Jeep CJ models, while the vehicle fitment begins in 1966.
Kits like this give a person servicing one wheel end everything in one box, which avoids mixing bearing makes. The Timken name appears for both the inner and outer bearings. G2 does not publish bearing part numbers or dimensions for the 30-8002, so use the kit number and vehicle list. The listed axle types, Dana 25, Dana 27 and Dana 30 Standard, mean the kit crosses a few axle designs used on CJ models of different years.
Key features
- All parts for one side
- Timken inner wheel bearing and race
- Timken outer wheel bearing and race
- Wheel bearing seal
- For Dana 25, Dana 27 and Dana 30 Standard axles

Before you buy
A front wheel bearing on a CJ carries the weight of the front end and steers with it, so worn bearings show up as play at the hub or a growl that changes with speed. Replacing one side without checking the other often leaves a second worn bearing in service, so inspect both wheel ends while the hubs are apart. Confirm the axle type before buying, since Dana 25, Dana 27 and Dana 30 Standard units are different designs.
Plan for the bearing adjustment to be redone once the new parts are seated. Clean the spindle and hub bore before pressing anything in, and fit the seal so its lip faces the grease side and is not pinched.
- Check the spindle for scoring before fitting new bearings
- Replace the seal whenever the bearings are replaced
- Repack with fresh grease rather than reusing old grease

Installation notes
One kit serves one side only, so both front wheel ends need two kits. Fresh bearing grease and the factory bearing adjustment procedure are part of any wheel bearing job.
What’s included
A Timken inner bearing and race, a Timken outer bearing and race and a wheel bearing seal, all for one side.
Not included: bearing grease, a second kit for the opposite side and hub hardware.
