Hello,

need you help. My front wheelbearings are "damaged". The original GM Wheelbearings cost me 260,- EURO on GM Germany.

Does anybody know if there are a bearing kit? Or on summitracing & co. bearings for my car (TRANS AM - 1996)?

Thank you very much.

Here's some info about wheel bearings:

Actually when I asked my dealer for a price of new original GM wheel bearings it was 209 Euro (last September).

not sure if this applies to f-bodies or not, but on the vette, GM wheelbearings end up being about $300 each from the dealerships in the states or you can go to autozone and get the exact same part in a Temkin box for $155.

What i had to do was paypal my sister the money and she ordered and picked up the part, then overnighted it to me. Still got it within a week and saved a lot of money.

What is a "Temkin box"?

He means "Timken", which is a bearing manufacturer.

yeah, what 2slow said :oops:

it's my understanding that AC Delco buys the Timken bearings and puts them in an AC Delco box and sells them for twice the price. Again, that's for y-bodies, not sure if it applies to f-bodies, but you could probably find a similar deal.
