After reading several threads on wheel bearings, what's the consensus? Is there a better aftermarket bearing than Polaris. I pulled my front right hub and the inner race of the bearing is seized to the hub, gonna have to cut it off. So I'm in need of a front bearing. After reading all the threads about bearing issues, figured I'd ask to see if someone has found a better alternative. 2013 ranger 800, stock bearing part #3514699 (HY1422) and rear 3514635 (HY1424)

I'm a fan of All Balls Racing products. Their all joints and tie rod ends are significantly better and cheaper than OEM. Their wheel bearings only seem to be marginally better, but still cheaper than OEM.

Front or rear!? on my machine, the front and rears are different.. i was actually looking them up lastnight. Rear is the same as a 2005 Mazda Miata..lol On stock at Advanced auto parts (S510003) haha. i forget what the front crossed to? but the fronts for mine at auto parts are like 10 bucks, and the rears are actually cheaper via ebay rather than Auto parts...however i can get a SKF, or Timken, or *** brand via autoparts.

They should be. I've not seen any Rangers, RZR's, or Sportsmans that didn't have a larger rear bearing than the front.

But Polaris has two different part numbers for the Front/Rear on the 900.
I do not know what the difference is though.
Does anybody actually have the dimensions of the front and rear bearings? OD, ID, width. I may be able to pull up some possibilities with our vendors and get some cross reference numbers. Like he mentioned, may be able to cross reference with an automotive bearing that can be picked up at the nearest auto part store.

I believe the RZR 900 uses the same front/rear... the Ranger 900 uses 2 different sizes. They are different OD and Thickness. I just replaced mine with All Balls from ATV Outfitters on Ebay. Way cheaper than anywhere else.

Nope, they are different. The rear is significantly larger.
