Subject: Re: CentralCoaster is still alive, thanks for asking... +tech ramblings by bogus on 2014/12/11 21:10:28 I like those... pricey, yes, but REBUILDABLE... that will save you serious cash down the road. Figure that GM bearings are $460 each (at rockauto.com)... and that cheaper non-GM are still $205 for Timkin... this does not look like a bad investment. I can't imagine a rebuild is more than $50-$75... Plus you can service them along the way (clean/grease) to keep those bearings running longer. Pricey yes, but a damned good value. I would bet they would last 250k miles in normal street use with regular maintenance, that's three times the lifespan of OEM bearings (dying at a nominal 80k-100k miles). |
