i need axle bearings.

[Jeremy]

where does a guy find axle bearings in this valley?

i need bearings for a ford 9" axle i am getting ready to put in the YJ.

six states: "there is nothing in the book that matches that size"

autozone, checker, napa: "what year and make" i dont know, its a ford 9" rear axle "sorry we cant help you"

they do exist, i found them here

but i dont have time to have them shipped. i need them asap.

 

[krawlereng]

do you have an old bearing with the part number on it? if so call kaman industries in orem.

 

[Jeremy]

i have no bearings just bare shafts.

If you've got some good calipers, get the ID and OD measurements, then hit the local bearing supply houses.

Take this number 88128RB-R (from your link) and go to Kaman

Might also write these down 1.531" ID, 3.149" OD

Or go to Gaylon's in Lehi, John will know what you need (and likely have it)

Just ask the guys at Six States for a Set 20 bearing kit. Or the Truck Craft A20. (same thing) That'll be the bearing, retainer, and seal.

For that matter, you should be able to get the same thing or equivalent from Checker, Autozone, NAPA. If they don't have any listing for a Set 20, (besides needing better parts guys, which certainly is the case) ask for a wheel bearing for a '79 Bronco.

What's your 9" from?

i have no idea what it came out of. i have 2 axles, both have been narrowed, both 31 spline, both big bearing housings and the shafts are different diameter. one is 1.531 the other is 1.563 sixstates has the 1.563 but they dont know anything about the other.

 

[I Lean]

Huh, weird. I wonder if the smaller one just had a spun bearing that altered its size?

on both shafts?

everything i have found for the set 20 is 1.563 i.d.

 

[Chevycrew]

thought you said one shaft is 1.563? im confused

 

[Jeremy]

thought you said one shaft is 1.563? im confused

i have 2 seperate complete axle assemblies. one with 1.563 shafts, the other with 1.531 shafts.

 

[Chevycrew]

oh, i read it as you had a total of 2 shafts, one being 1.563 and the other 1.531

 

[I Lean]

Oops, I read what you typed wrong....I was thinking 1.561 and 1.563. It's not likely a spun bearing would shave a shaft down .033.

Well........ that depends who was driving it...

 

[Jeremy]

Count the splines on the smaller shaft it could be allot older shaft I saw one like what your saying it was out of a very old car can't remember what it was though I would also bet if you check it the lug pattern is 5 on 4and 3/4 .

31 spline 5on5.5 also drilled for 5on4.5
