    Rear Wheel Bearing Help! Empty Rear Wheel Bearing Help!

    Post by cjmagnuss Tue Sep 09, 2014 12:42 pm

    So my '68 A108 Window van has a bad wheel bearing.  Interestingly, it's not a tapered roller style bearing, it's a ball bearing measuring 1.563" ID and 2.865" OD.  

    I have no idea if the differential or axle shafts were replaced over the years.  I've got the van at a local shop and they can't seem to track down the bearing anywhere.

    I'm needing to get this back together in 2 days to haul motorcycles to the track.  Thanks for your help

    Also referred to as the Mopar 8-3/4 Green Bearing, not because it is suppose to be green, it replaces the tapered bearing & race setup that required adjusting (preloading). Moser, Mancini's and several other dealers sell those bearings, there should be a Mfg part number on it.

    Thanks guys. Trying to find them locally as I'm in a bit of a hurry. Tried Whisler (Denver bearing shop) over the phone with measurements and they didn't have anything. Could try in person I suppose. The grooves make me think it's pretty unlikely though.
