I have returned a FBJ replacement front hub/bearing to supplier as tapped holes were not perpendicular to flange face. Reputedly a Japanese hub possibly made in China?
Does any member have any experience with FBJ hubs? Part number JWB-3066
This l/h hub completed 120 000km, replaced r/h hub at 80 000km.
REgards.

Hi Kelly.
I can't say I know that brand, where did you buy them from?
I have bought after market rear hubs (TNT) for my Gen 3 Pajero from Masterparts in Cape Town and they have always been good?
As far as I can recall, there are 4 bolts holding the back of the hub to the suspension that are seated in tapped holes in the hub. The front flange has 6 studs to hold the wheel on. Where the 4 rear holes not correctly aligned?

Hello Nicholas,
Thanks for your comment. You describe the hub correctly. 2 of the 4 securing bolts were drilled/tapped at an angle which did not permit fastening of the hub to the carrier.
The supplier was Bearing Man & they are looking for a replacement.
I do not find any info on the T&T hubs on the web. Where do they come from?
Regards, Kelly

Hello, trust you had a happy & safe Easter,
Have just received my replacement front wheel hub/bearing. Mitsubishi replacement. Am busy with installation will write a note once installed. Perfect fit this time. Bearing much easier to turn, ie not so stiff
