Default Re: 9" axle beaing issue

Another thing you need to pay attention to when receiving replacement bearings is that the center collar of the bearing matches your old bearing exactly. My Factory original axle bearings have the center collar protruding from the outer face of the bearing, but the new bearing had that collar sticking out on both sides. If I had installed the new bearing, that portion which protrudes on the inside may have pushed up against my new seal and ruined it.
But like I say, I somehow got lucky and found one place out of all the sources I knew of that had an exact match to my old bearing.
