new rear hub bearing failure
Do new rear wheel bearings have a failure with the end plates(thrust plates).
While looking for new bearings for my Model A sleeved hubs(uses '36-'48 Ford bearing ?) it seems as though it's a failure problem with the thrust plates (not hardened) and not the rollers. If you've replaced yours with no failure problems who was the supplier ? Don't want to go 500 miles like some have and bearings fail. |

Most often new means china. Find NOS or good used.

My searches for NOS have not shown any thing yet. I'll find them.I know there out there.
Your right. No China bearings. |

Re: new rear hub bearing failure
Even some German made bearings that I purchased new had soft end plates in the roller bearings. Always pays to check whatever brand you buy by touching the end plates with a fine file. You cant trust any particular brand these days. Ask THIRD GEN AUTO to send you some good new bearings. Regards, Kevin.

Looking on the swap side it look's like tudor 28 got his replacements. Hope he let's us know the source. I have a good used set if someone needs a pair as well.
