Re: (scorp508)
Front or rear? I get my rear at Pepboys for $139.99 with lifetime warranty.
Thanks Scorp, looking for both, front & rear, '84 & '92. Friends are looking also for '85 f/r. We just need sources. What year from Pepboys @ $139.99 ? ?

Re: Wheel bearings? (edsalinas)
I would be interested in finding a good source for the front one as well for the '92-96 with the built in speed sensor that you can not replace seperately. Best price I have seen is TLD and they still want $225 for it. I have checked with Jeff too (usually the first stop), but his price is higher than TLD for a change.

Re: Wheel bearings? (edsalinas)
That is correct. Just make sure your definition of hub is that same as what they call the hub assembly. I have one on the bench at home I can photograph if necessary.

Re: Wheel bearings? (edsalinas)
There was a thread about using front hubs off a 94 Firebird. Other than the threaded flange, they are the same as a Vette hub but about one half the cost. They even have the speed sensor. O`reilly has them for about $106 and Autozone for about $125. Worth checking out. :cheers:

Re: Wheel bearings? (edsalinas)
I replaced all four from Pep Boys. Fronts= $159 Rears= $139. I had to press in longer studs and all went well. Two auto-x's, one at Wendover on the gripy concrete, and one on asphalt and all is fine. The previous ones lasted two seasons of auto-x and 600 miles of track use with two drivers. They did their job.

Re: Wheel bearings? (edsalinas)
I bought rears (SKF) from Mike Kalin jenavet@earthlink.net for $120. I was very pleased with the product and the service. He wants $199 for the 91-96 fronts.
I used 94 Firebird fronts (for 91-96 vettes with speed sensor) - $109 at Pep Boys. Search for "Firebird Hub" in the title and get the details for using them.
The rears are the same for all C4's.
