Is their a better manufactured front wheel bearing for my 2004 kia sedona mpv 2.9 crdi chassis up751 j3 engine than the kia manufactured original.

hi, As you have not stated which engine you need, here is a diagram for both 2.9 d crdi and also for the 2.5. I do have installation instructions if required, but it would save time to know which engine. there are also things to look out for if needed. not an easy job if you are not experienced.

We do not have this procedure sorry.

Try the timken one. I never had a problem with them

The wheel bearing is pressed into the steering knuckle and the hub is pressed into the wheel bearing. Hope this helps.

Stay away from the Kia Carnival. I have discovered that all the Kias, regardless of age, have terrible over heating & engine problems, expensive to fix and unreliable.

The Carnival is a best seller in this market but it has suffered some noteworthy problems. A significant number needed new engines under warranty. They're far cheaper than most others but even so they're hard for me to recommend. Bear in mind the auto is far preferable to the manual. .

Nothing to do with valve control but o2 sensor should be replaced and also sounds like the engine is misfiring when gas is applied, this may be caused by a bad coil or sparkplug.when was your last tune up?, i would replace sensor and also make sure there are no other codes , even check for history codes.

The engine belt routing. See pictures below:
1. For Kia Sedona 2.5 V6 engine (engine code GV6):



2. For Kia Sedona 2.9D CRDi engine (engine code: KJ):

My guess is the original shim that came with the factory bearing and hub assembly was discarded and never installed on the new bearing (That does not come with a shim) causing the new bearing to fail.

most likely a wheel bearing. to determine which one, lift up the car so wheels are in the air. grab onto the strut spring, and spin the wheel. You should fell roughness in your hand on the wheel that is bad, the good wheel will fell smooth.

one check if your wheels are tight 95 ftlbs if mag wheels remove make sure no heavy corrosin arond hub and rim wheel will not seat properly and come loose. 2 check front end if belts are showing check ball joints and tie rides for wear vans are also known
for bad wheel bearings even if you cant hear it at 80km50mph give or take it may have ecssive play
check that front end .otherchecks ps pump and or loose p/s belt
