Rear Bearing Assemblies
Wondering if anyone has installed the bearing assemblies that you can get from the various venders. The ones that are all ready to just be bolted in. Thought it would be better and easier to go this route instead of rebuilding my originals. thanks

Rear wheel bearings are difficult to set up on these cars and require special equipment. Even the guys who do it regularly don't agree on the right way to do it. (Just watch how this thread takes off.) I have the equipment and have done it a few times, and even I would seriously consider one of the experts to do it next time. The best way is to send your trailing arms off to a reputable rebuilder. (Van Steel comes highly recommended.) Definitely do not take it to someone who has never done one before.
