Banjo rear end hub, axle bearings and seals
What vendor (parts place) do you guys use to purchase a new pair of rear axle/hub cage bearings and seals?
I have the (according to the bottom adjustable brakes) '39-'42 rear brake and hub assembly. I also have the reccomended (several past posts) SL-3131 bearing grease to pack them. Thanks. |

Third Gen Automotive. It should all be on their website.

The SL-3131 bearing grease is no longer available.

Bobby C. I bought 4 tubs/cans of the Sta-Lube SL-3131 from a local Auto Parts store here. They said the warehouse had 16 cans before I bought my 4.
Kube. Thanks for the advice! Then who does sell the correct caged bearings? |

Fred at Southside Obsolete has real bearings. I don't use anything else in a banjo rebuild.

Good used bearing are "out there" and worth the effort to find them. The real deal will have the Ford script on the cage.

Re: Banjo rear end hub, axle bearings and seals
I have heard horror stories about inferior replacement wheel bearings. Quite a few years ago now (15, 20?) C&G advertised new caged wheel bearings with hardened cages. I purchased a pair after failing to find any good used bearings. Dad and I put over 10k miles on that car in the next fifteen years and had no problems with the wheel bearings.
I would not hesitate to use new C&G bearings. |

Re: Banjo rear end hub, axle bearings and seals
Kube has good advice. It is worth the effort to find known good Ford bearings
either used or NOS from South side Obsolete (Fred). John
