Axle bearings January 21, 2017, 11:56:30 AM Alright so I ordered timken fc66998 bearings as they said they're the correct part but they're definitely not way too large what's the correct bearing for the rear axle? Quote Selected

Axle bearings Reply #3 – January 31, 2017, 07:24:39 PM Behind the axle.You have to drain fluid and pull the c-clips in the diff before you can pull the axle. Then you need a tool to remove and press in the new one into the axle tube. Quote Selected

Axle bearings Reply #5 – February 24, 2017, 03:09:59 PM So I have a lot of rear end noise in my car, it's driving me nuts so I'm having the bearings replaced, is there anything else that would make a lot of roaring noise other than tires? Quote Selected
