Ben's Z Posted July 13, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 13, 2011 I was looking at rockauto.com. I didn't see any outer rear wheel seals. I am painting all my chassis and wanted to do my bearings and seals while I had it all out. There are outer rear wheel seals right? I am on the road and can't look at my parts right now.

ezzzzzzz Posted July 13, 2011 Share #2 Posted July 13, 2011 No outer stub axle bearing seals. The outer bearing is sealed and there is a dust ring attached to the axle flange to deflect some road debri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownclee Posted July 17, 2011 Share #3 Posted July 17, 2011 Actually, the outer bearing is not technically a sealed bearing. A sealed bearing is sealed on both sides and comes pre-lubed. Sorry to appear to be a know-it-all. The outer bearing is sealed on one side and still must be filled with greased prior to installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240260280z Posted July 17, 2011 Share #4 Posted July 17, 2011 Outer bearing has built-in seal on outer side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted July 19, 2011 Share #5 Posted July 19, 2011 Blue, I assume the outer is the one on the left?Does the inner have a seal on the other (hidden) side as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240260280z Posted July 19, 2011 Share #6 Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) Yup,the one on the left is the outer. There is a seal that goes on the inside. (below) Read this and you should get a better idea: CLICK Edited July 19, 2011 by Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacarl Posted February 26, 2014 Share #10 Posted February 26, 2014 Giving this excellent thread a bump from several years ago. Where are you guys getting rear bearings? Between MSA, RockAuto and Amazon, it doesn't seem that they can be had for less than $90 per side (except RockAuto's BeckArnley which are so much less expensive it makes me nervous) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarvo2 Posted February 26, 2014 Share #11 Posted February 26, 2014 I just ordered from RockAuto (front & rears) for about $180 out the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacarl Posted February 28, 2014 Share #12 Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) I have just the rears (Timken brand) in my cart at RockAuto: $189.39 + shipping The fronts are super cheap by comparison, less than $5 bucks apiece so the fronts only add about $20 to the grand total. MSA sells Koyo brand bearings for almost exactly the same price, minus about $20 for our club discount; they have seals as well for $7 each, which RockAuto doesn't seem to carry. Thanks for the feedback Dave. I checked out your blog from your signature - good write ups in there! Edited February 28, 2014 by bacarl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
