wheel bearing kits

[BLUNT]

do these come with new races? it doesnt specify in the etk and i cant locate a part number. i bought a set of tii struts and it looks like someone gnawed on the races. i need new ones but cant get an answer from my parts guy. anyone know if these are available?

In aftermarket land it is set#6 inner,set#2 outer, those are bearing and race sets, very common at any reputable parts store.

Yes they come with new races. Races are part of the bearing.

speaking from memory right now....

the rear bearings have an inner and outer race as part of the bearing and they are snug into the bore and onto the shaft.

this is different from the front bearings, specifically, the conical bearing. it does not have an inner race, per se, but rather rolls against the spindle. can't recall the configuration of the inboard bearing as to whether it does or does not have an inner race, however, i do recall seeing a slight wear groove on a set of used struts which suggests that they too roll against the spindle (without the inner race).

are you referring to the separator (or bearing cage) being mangled?

when i went to paint the hubs i looked inside and there are big chunks taken out of what im calling the race. it has to be pounded out and a new one pounded back in

i learned something new today. upon closer inspection i did notice in my hubs that the outer race was indeed pressed into the hub and not part of the hub as i had assumed all along. i pulled out a new bearing in my parts stash and realized that it did indeed have both inner and outer races.

mea culpa....

I have a front bearing set in the garage I could take a picture of if you wanted. I have yet to replace mine so I do not know what it what. I just order a front wheel bearing kit through worldpac.

In the rear there are a spacer tube and a shim for the bering. Funney, you have to measure the thickness of the hub and then subtract to get the proper shim thickness. When your all done, it's usually the same shim you took out of there. Berings are precise, swing arms are not.
