Front Spindle Bearings

<< < (2/4) > >>

PSweeney:
thanks guys.  I can source the metric inner in a deep groove sealed ball bearing but the imperial outer is proving difficult.  The dimensions are 5/8 ID x  1 11/16 OD.  The OD seems to be an odd size in the bearing world.

You need to move to the "Colonies" instead of that Island 8)

ricardo1967:
This topic interests me and I might update my front spindles with sealed ball bearings in place of the current tapered roller bearings. Just to confirm… are you guys talking about regular ball bearings or angular contact ball bearings? I think the latter is a better match for the application, but I want to hear your experiences.

Thank you

Since the radial load is in effect for 98% of the time at speed- regular bearings work just fine
