Hello everyone here. As you can see I'm new to this forum and also new to this world of off-road vehicles. I have acquired a second hand Jimny from 2007 (JB43V, JLX, SN-413) and I'm trying to locate the needed parts for change the front and rear bearings, seals and others to fix some oil leakage and keep my Jimny in good shape. Happens that there are so many variants, and so many ways to refering to one model that Im struggling to find the proper parts, Where I live (Panama, Central America) I have access to KOYO bearings and parts. but I do need the measurements and sizes to ask for them, Unmont my bearings which im sure they were never changed before, Will be very complex to ask if they have them or not. Maybe its the only way but before doing that I'm hoping that till this time, at least for my model someone can kindly assist me with any advice of how ask for them. Like an example, after some hard digging I could find that 2 of the kingpin bearings are labeled as 30302J. But I still missing the others , the seals, even the rear bearings. If someone could kindly assist me in this dutty I would be very thankful. In the meantime, I still looking for them, I have found some bundles in Ebay that fits my model but they re kind of expensive compared to my country prices, thats why I would like to buy them here I have the chance. Thanks in advance.

Not all bearings and seals are standard sizes. and sometimes you will need the original mounting kit hardware like the retainer for the rear bearing.
I too have access to industry bearings, from SKF at low low prices thru my work (gearbox manufacturer), but it is only those bearings you mention that i bother to buy thru my own channels.
It saves a lot of hassle and stress to just buy the original kits in my opinion.
And it is also important to keep the original parts source in business in my opinion, cause when they see no demand for parts they will shut down.

Norway 2005 Jimny M16A VVT, 235 BFG MT, 2" Trailmaster, ARB rear lck, 17%/87% high/low gears.

Just get them from the BigJimny Shop. They're the right parts at a cheap price and Koyo are the original manufacturers.
