Front Wheel Bearings

[hubeerjw]

I was looking at replacing my front wheel bearings after my little incident with the front axle. I didn't know if any of you have any suggestions on what I should get. I have found a few on eBay, but I'm wondering if I should get something different/better.

I noticed the above bearings are different for 85-03 and the 04-06... did the bearings change? The bearings below say they will work in 85-06...????

I also saw that someone else went with ceramic bearings... is this something to look into or is it a waste of $$.

Thanks,

Jeff

These guys might have the bearings you need.

Just take the stockers to a bearing house and get sealed bearings... Been there done that...:thumbs up:

you could do that but there is really nothing inherantly wrong with stock stuff (I have them on hand too Jeff).
