Re: TOY: 200,000 miles and wheel bearings

[Michael Fox <michael.fox@xxxxxxxx>]

Karl, when I put in my IFS rear end, I found that the bearings were shot also.
The cheapest bearings I found were $55 each, then there is a seal that you have
to buy also, which were like $10 each. Then the machine shop raped me for $20
per side to take the old bearings off and another $20 a side to press them back
onto the axle. Grand total with tax was about $240.00!!!
