I just went through that with Auto Zone, looking for Timkin spindle bearings 
for my Cj's dana30. Then I really threw them (it took three of them to get it 
right) when I asked about cost of dana 44 bearings, rotors, etc from Scout, 
Ford, and Chevy parts for the axle I'm building. They had no clue what I was 
doing. And when I said it was going under my Jeep, they thought I was crazy. 
Of course the clown that is the "mechanic" of the bunch said it couldn't be 
done. I told him when it is, I'll park on the hood of his car to show it can 
be done.
