He, I just bought two front wheel bearings from Ralph Kinindy, who I also bought ZO7 springs from. They have the Mobil 1 grease in them, are new and were for the Corvette Challenge era when Reher Morrison asked GM to get bearings made with the superior grease within them to last longer.
He may have some left, and they are definitely cheaper than new AC Delco. He also has a bunch of other Corvette Challenge parts, brakes, suspension pieces etc. Interesting era for our cars. Worth a try if you are in the market for new wheel bearings. Steve Here is his email. rjkinindy@aol.com |

Yes. I needed front as they had 80 kmiles plus on them. Due. I just did the rears with SKF's. If I had known of these, I would have done the rear with the Mobil 1's. But, these will probably be the last wheel bearings i do. EVER! |

I need to do mine, too. They are nearing 100k miles.
I used bearings from Advance Auto and they have held up very nicely. Got lucky, I guess.  |

My autocrossing and Oahu roads have been bad on mine. My rears had about 10kmiles, or less and their grease seals were bad. They were BCA bearings |

That's a dirt cheap price. How many do you think he has?
