My rr is just starting to have a slight 12/6 movement, no noise or any other symptom. 55k miles.
Does anyone do one corner at at a time (as needed) or all 4 or an axle at a time.

Keep in mind there is no labor savings or price of parts savings by doing multi corners.

I will do diy.

Has anyone found a "regular" SKF at napa/pep/kragen or where is the best price for regular skf.

I don't think I need the race skf although it I did TT or WTW I would. I understand the race is about $100 a corner more.



Thanks guys.

I did my SKF's one a time as the stockers went bad. In the long run the race SKF are cheaper IMHO, as they last MUCH longer per dollar.

they fail completely at random, sometimes mechanical, sometimes speed sensor. A brand new one could fail after one event even!

I highly recommend replacing them individually, only as needed!

Phoenix Racing has the best prices, like $350 ea. I repl mine as they went bad as there is no time savings doing both at same time. Mine were about 3 mos apart.

yep replace as needed imho

Thank you guys.

I've replaced both stock and SKF as they go bad individually. The only thing to potentially consider is if you are swapping from stock to SKF - you may want to do an axle at a time in that case.

Why?

Not like it's a shock or a tire?

The only reason I say that is to keep both sides of an axle like for like. Not that it's required, it's just what I would do. Maybe I'm a bit too picky, but I like having equal quality/strength parts when driving on the track.

Not for a wheel bearing, not necessary. In fact, the left side takes more abuse than the right side up here in the North East.

Haven't put SKF on the rear yet, only the front. But, although I don't realize any play in the bearings at rest, I have noticed rear rotors cracking too often. I have to wonder if there may be play at temperature allowing more stress on pads/rotors with heat from rubbing? Probably time to replace the rears with SKF's.

Ok, understood. Most threads I have read replace both front or both rear when swapping from stock to SKF. It makes sense to me since if they were done one side at a time, the remaining stock bearing wouldn't be far behind.

I have replaced SKF bearings one at a time in my track car.

This is most-likely the case. I know that SKF's will tighten the front up under load so that it definately helps with knock back and spreading so you are probably right on.

I always like doing them in pairs when I can. Of course if it is a brand new set and you smack a wall with one corner I don't see the point in doing both front ones.

To me there are a few items on a track car that, for me don't make any sense to go generic on...wheel bearings, brake fluid, brake lines, engine oil, seats, seat belts, helmet......

To me, SKF race bearings are going to be the only way to go.
