Re: Wheel bearings

Subject: Re: Wheel bearings

I think that's true as well. It's well documented that a bearing will run cooler after break in. I had two of the cheaper bearings develop slop after only an auto-x, they had no street miles on them.
I just pulled out a oem that has 25k on it, and was on there for two years before it saw a track day, it's not bad, but has barely noticeable slop.

Keep in mind these bearings first application were for a front wheel drive Cadillac. Probably other fwd applications as well with different flanges. It's not as if they were designed for the corvette. GM just figured they were good enough. And figured wrong.
