Stock bearing replacements are
1 x NSK 6007DDU Rubber Sealed Deep Groove Ball Bearing 35x62x14mm
2 x NSK 6008DDU Rubber Sealed Deep Groove Ball Bearing 40x68x15mm
So easy enough to cross reference them to ceramic bearings since they come from NSK as well.

Thanks but I know the part numbers for regular bearings already as I wrote in my first post.
I have problems finding the corresponding hybrid ceramic bearings.
If you consider it easy maybe you can help me do it then @ Dano523?
I can only find some from SKF but they are super expensive with over $150 a piece:
1x 6007-2RZTN9/HC5C3WT
2x 6008-2RZTN9/HC5C3WT

Price sounds about right when you are not buying them in bulk..
So unless you can find a vender that is selling them for less than manufacturers retail price on piece units, Tick does have them a slightly better price that direct from the manufactor's seller instead.

Also keep in mind that they do have some positives, but there shear strength is not at high as the standard steel bearings (Catch a inside apex beam under power, and could shatter one of the bearings from the jolt load).
So if for a race car where your going to tear down the torque tube pretty much after each race event and going to be running the car at higher speeds, cermaic,
but if for a street car, then would go with the steel bearings instead.
Note, there are two different sets of steel bearings for the C6 torque tube. The standard, and the ones that are designed to be run at higher speeds isntead.

But as far as I am aware, Chevy installs the RS ones from factory.
