Do you use Amazon? Do you have Amazon Prime? If you answer yes to both of these Q's I would get anything and everything from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Raybestos-713121- ... tos+713121 I use Raybestos and this unit is really nice!
$7.00 savings on part cost vs Rock, and if you have prime, that equals free 2 day shipping. You can get just about everything for our cars prime @ Amazon. I put my order together @ Rock for my trans project and replaced Everything from control arms to the rack and my list @ Rock had at least 20 items on it shipping from 9 different places with a total of over $1,500.00 with more than $300.00 of that being shipping. I then built my order with Amazon and got it down to less than $900.00, and with how much in shipping costs?? $12.00 for the rack and $4.00 for hockey pucks!!
Good Luck!

Timken is the recommended brand by most members on this forum. I have close to 40,000 miles on the Timken's that I put on the front of my Bonerville.

Definitely Timken. They make the best bearings, period.

I have a moog on the front driver's wheel. I couldn't wait to have the Timkens shipped. In any case, it looks like a quality product.
