3.5K Trailer Bearing Kit vs WPS Trailer Bearing Kit #1149

These two kits fit the same hub: both use L44649 outer and L68149 inner bearings with L44610 and L68111 races on a #84 spindle for 3,500 lb axles. The real split is contents. Kit A adds a dust cap and sometimes grease or a grease fitting, so it covers more of the job in one box. Kit B is a tighter, known package with a spring-loaded double lip seal and a 4.8 rating from 84 owners. Buy A for a fuller service kit; buy B if you already have caps and want the better seal.

  • Choose the 3.5K Bearing kit (MAT) if you want a dust cap and possibly grease or a fitting included so one box covers the whole hub service.
  • Choose the WPS #1149 kit if you already have dust caps and want a spring-loaded double lip seal with a strong owner rating.

What reviewers say

WPS Trailer Bearing Kit #1149

  • 4.8 / 584 ratings

Buyers rate the kit highly and mostly mention fit and completeness. The common note is that it matched the spindle and went together without trouble.

What people mention
  • FitPraisedOwners say the bearings and races seated correctly on 1-3/8" x 1-1/16" spindles.
  • CompletenessPraisedReviewers like getting both bearings, both races, the seal and the cotter pin in one box.
  • SealPraisedThe double-lip spring-loaded seal is called out for keeping grease in and water out.
  • Part matchingMixedA few buyers say you should confirm the bearing numbers against the old parts before ordering.

Questions and answers

Which kit is better for a boat trailer?
Kit B, because its spring-loaded double lip seal is built to keep water and road grime out of the hub. Kit A fits the same spindle, but its seal is a standard design.
Do both kits fit the same hub?
Yes. Both use L44649 and L68149 bearings with L44610 and L68111 races on a #84 spindle rated to 3,500 lb. Each kit services one hub.
Which lasts longer?
Bearing life depends more on grease, preload and seal condition than on the kit. Kit B's double lip seal is the better guard against water intrusion, which is a common cause of early bearing failure.
Is kit A worth stepping up to?
Yes if you want the dust cap and possibly grease in the same box. If your caps are reusable, kit B covers the wear parts with a better seal.
What else do I need for a full hub service?
Grease, a spindle nut and a way to seat the races. Kit A may include grease or a fitting; kit B does not, so plan for those separately.
