Yep. NONE. If you can feel play they are bad. I got mine at advance auto for $125 ea. and they are a snap to put in. Very easy really.

ok. thought so... Advance auto.. Ok.. thanks
Drivers side front moves a lot, and the passenger moves very very very little you can feel something but everyone (3 vette guys) told me to replace the left one and leave the right one. Thats why I posted the question.
thanks

There is no comparison. I did both of my fronts in about an hour and had never done them before. I was happily surprised with the ease of the project.

The GM manual for a 92 says 0.005" is the max. If you don't have a micrometer to test this...it is fairly safe to say that if you feel it or even see it...replace them.
Discount and Autozone have them for around $150. It's a 45 minute job. You'll need a T55 torque bit and a 1 3/8" socket. Wheel hub mounting bolts on a 92 should be torqued at 66 ft/lb and 164 ft/lb for the spindle nut.

Zip = sold out / back order
Contemporary corvette = sold out /back order
Mid america = sold out / back order
Autozone = can't get them anymore / sounds odd
3 chevy dealers = comes with speed sensor for a $576 price!!! YES!!!
going down the yellow pages now.

Autozone.com says you can buy them for 150 each, but ONLY ONLINE. They don't sell the bearing in the stores.. hmm oh well. I'll order one from there.
thanks guys.

Re: How much play should there be on the front bearings? (Bluewasp)
What is really screwy is that the Autozone store had the rear but not the front. They even went as far as to tell me that they don't carry them any more. This was just last Wednesday. I went to Autozone on-line and got the front, which was just delivered today. Imagine that...the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing.
I even mentioned this to the store manager who just shrugged his shoulders.
