ABS/ESP time
the speed sensor also kills your cruise control if defective. I'd order one to have the shelf. 125 is a pretty good price on the Timkens. The napa replacement is ~400 plus in town. I pinched a wire when i put the shock back in after pulling the CV axle chasing a rumble I have now...- Cardhu

ABS/ESP time
you can get the timken replacements from rock auto for ~150 bucks with the sensor. Easy swap considering the replacement sensors that may or maynot come out are already mounted inside that unit. E14 Torx and 35/36 mm axle socket needed.- Cardhu

wheels / rims help please
If your going to use soft 8's and your buying new get 7 inches wide and 4 inch BS. The only reason moabs are choosen over soft 8's is looks or the desire to not use steel rims or you don't like soft 8's. The 8 inch wide wheel isn't as desireable for the widths a KJ will run. ie 245 - 265.- Cardhu
