72 front wheel bearing replacement
Its time for me to replace the front wheel bearings and I'm wondering if anyone has been able to find sealed bearings to replace the OEM roller bearings? I've looked online and have not been able to find them. I would have thought they would have been out already seeing that most of the newer vehicles have gone to them plus you can even get them for your trailer. I have found complete hub kits along with just the bearing, seal and hardware kits with no problem but was hoping to avoid having to upgrade and avoid having to grease the roller bearing. Appreciate any input. Thanks

The OE setup is tried and true so why mess with success? Unless you plan on driving your car 50,000 miles a year, stay the course. Greasing front wheel bearings is one of the easiest jobs there is.
