Rear End Bearings

[88-GT]

I am in the process of rebuilding my rear end and am just piecing together parts soo far. I already have a new set of FRPP 3.73s and also their Trac Lok Rebuild kit.

I am now looking for bearings to do the intall. I am going to replace all of them, including axle bearings/seals but am clueless of quality of different brands. I have seen kits of koyo and timken on ebay, and the parts store here carries PCB I think. Anyone have any opinions on these? I'd rather spend the extra money to get top of the line bearings than have a problem in the future. Thanks for any input.

Get them from Ford.

Get them from Ford.

+1 I wouldn't look to e-bay for something like that. If there is a problem, you can't run them back to the local store to return/exchange them.

Anybody else have any opinions?

Timken makes a nice bearing, but I agree about the return issue with Ebay.

There are a lot of companies that sell a rebuild kit with all the bearings, seals, etc needed. I have use the Ratech kit from Summit, along with one from Richmond with good results.
