That is not good. We all know how well Rhino bearings hold up.

Sorry but WRONG, the Grizz bearings WILL use the Teryx bearings but they are not the same bearing, they are not the same just beacuse they will fit. Teryx wheel bearings are about $12.00 bucks at the dealer across the road and they are selling them instead of the Yamaha bearings to Grizz customers because they last longer and are cheaper to boot......been down this road before, just a FYI I replaced the front bearings on the 2010 at almost 3000 Brimstone miles, this was the 1st set I've ever had to replace, like I said on the phone. The Pivot Works bearings may in fact be the same, but go look at a factory Grizz bearing then a factory Teryx bearing, not the same at all.

Must have been caused by a incorrectly torqued axle nut from the factory.

Not to sound dumb but are you sure it is the wheel bearing. Most of the time it looks like a front wheel bearing but is actually the lower a-arm bushings. That what is been mostly wrong on the teryx's I know of. You can move the wheel slightly and think wheel bearing but when watching closely the bottom a-arm will move.

OK done a little searching and ME being confused I found out that the Grizzly uses the same factory bearing and the FRONT Teryx, the rear Teryx bearing is bigger though, the Grizz uses same front Teryx bearings all around, and is actually a heavier duty bearing than is in the Rhino. Now the most interesting think is that Kawi charges $12.00 for this bearing, Yamaha charges $65.00 Shocked So anyway that is waht I was confused about I knew the rear bearing was totally different, but the front is the same part number despite your problem they are tough bearings, I've only replaced one set at 3000 miles on the front, Some of the Moose, Pivot Works and others say "China" on them.

this bearing was busted at the front end about 1/4 way down .when i pulled the bearing the inside popped out and was awful dry. the outer edge seal was all bent up . the reason i went with the pivot works was the same part # and they were in stock .kawi was a 4 week backorder and i dont have that time ! thanks for all your help stakk !

I have run the Pivot works, moose, cheap ebay, machine shop, and many other bearing and the best I have found for the rhino is the QuadBoss. The QuadBoss bearings have a lot better seals than the rest of the bearings. The Quadboss seals look similar to stock Yamaha seals.
