I bought a set of rear Precision Wheel bearings from thepartsladi about 1 1/2 years ago and have 15,000 miles on them an they are fine, no play,no noise. If your going to get a set I think there price is still $72.50 each. Better yet Corvette Recyclers has GM NOS bearings for $99.95, this we all know is an excellent bearing and at that price why get anything else...WW

I asked partsladi if they were truly American made before I bought two of them. They said yes they are. When I got them the box said Made In America in big letters and below that in small letters it said assembled from parts from India, China, and Taiwan. I was not happy and they would not do a full refund. On the positive side since I had them I put them on, so far so good.
