Default Bearing.....

Well...I was all excited about my new Tracker, but God wasn't apparently. I picked up a friend from Phili the other day, and on the way home a cinder block rolled off the semi trailer in front of me. I turned to avoid a head on smack, but it got a nice chunk of tire and rim from my right front tire. Any who, the issue: it ended up destroying everything behind the tire. I went to a salvage yard to find the parts, and he came out with a hub from a '96 (same as mine) Tracker. The bearing inside was half the size of mine, and some other random things were different. How can I tell what I can pull a part from if they differ even in the same year?

Any reason you cant just replace the old bearing??
Any more info on your ride, be nice to see that in your signature.

Well, we got a new bearing....but can't get to it....it got so hot that the spindle warped and pieces kind of fused together. Then the hub is destroyed from all the uneven spinning. The manual lockout has destroyed teeth too....so I figured it would just be easier to grab the one big piece....the caliper is the only thing not damaged too much...

I just want to know if 2dr vs 4dr, 4x2 vs 4x4, Tracker vs Sidekick, or different year setups would be identical or not. I just want to buy a junk Trackick for parts, but I want to make sure I buy one I can interchange with...
