Default Are Wheel Bearings universal
Hey Guys, so I'm new on here but i have a Question.

Are Wheel Bearings different sizes on the front and the back or are they the same size? The previous owner gave me Wheel Bearings but i don't know if they are for the Front, Back, or if its the same thing? its for a 1979 Corvette

Thanks

69-82 Front outers and 63-82 rear inners are interchangeable. All the other bearings are unique to there mounting position.
