Rear bearing assembiles
It seems that no one that reads the forum on c3 has ever had a rear bearing assembly rebuilt. If any one that reads this has and knows of a good rebuilder (or bad)in southern calif PLEASE let me know.
Thanks Darrow eat my words thanks guys.

From what I have heard through this forum - Gary (gtr1999) is a stand up guy. He has helped me with setting up my rear end and some issues that I had with my pinion angle.
I did not use Gary but sent mine off to Van Steel in Clearwater Fla. I sent them 2 hunks of crap and they sent back 2 beautiful, rebuilt assemblies. I could tell that they were mine due to some imperfections that I saw before I shipped them. In addition, they were back in my hand in a little over a week.

Corvette mike did mine. He's located in Anaheim. http://www.corvettemike.com/
I've heard Van Steel does excellent work, you just need to ship to them.

I got mine from Van Steel
Prompt service and a nice looking unit when I got it.
The people at Van Steel were really nice to deal with.

not to sway you one way or another
Van Steel has a warranty for 5 years and is $200 per side
Here is the link
http://www.vansteel.com/index.cfm?fu...&SubGroup=1809
Since Gary does it for a living also - he may offer something as well.
Check with the guy that you found and see how it compares.
I got a guy near me that has been doing vettes for over 20 years and I do not think twice about avoiding him even if he is 1/2 the cost. I have seen some of his work and I was not all that impressed plus it had no warranty.
