[QUOTE="CHOP SHOP, post: 1523408, member: 17493"] KOYO bearings are $50 each at the dealer and in stock. There is NOTHING better. Most times you DONT need 4, just the top drivers one if stock or the top pass one if histeer. Remeber these bearings dont even roll a full turn, only a third of a turn. If they have play, remove shims. No need to replace unless pitted badly, damaged, or cheapies. And Kev, you know JAP aint always KOYO. A service kit is worthless. Just a bag with a wheel seal and a bunch of paper gaskets and new felt. Heres what I do. I get 4 new KOYOs and then go over to Bobbys and Tina will have Marlin EcoSeals for inside the housing (cuz stockers rip the first time an axle is installed) and the teflon wiper seals for the knuckles (cuz stock rubber and felt are JUNK) and then use silicone to seal the hub (cuz its easier to clean off than scraping a nasty paper gasket later) Then off to Napa to get a wheel bearing seal. I would not buy new wheel bearings unless yours are damaged. Clean, inspect, repack and enjoy the fact that older bearings are of better quality than new **** (unless someone has already installed **** in there before). I even prefer to find a pair of used bearings out of an IFS truck and use them. Just my .02 And I NEVER have knuckle problems. EVER. [/QUOTE]
