Geras and other replacement parts like bearings and seals for my 70 Estate wagon. Will a posi and gears work froma 66 wildcat or riv. what will work and what wont. Please I need some help. thanks doug
EDIT: I should add, I bought these parts for a '66 with the 8.2 inch rear... Some of these sites do have used gears available... You're in luck, I just researched this! I just bought an Eaton posi unit from www.gearsareus.com they also have full bearing,shim and seal kits for $100. For gears look here: www.drivetrain.com www.ringpinion.com Randy's www.agearworks.com Alans gear works www.schaefersringandpinion.com For bearings and seals, your local parts store has them. Many are online. Advance Auto Autozone NAPA www.rockauto.com
'70 Buick Estate wagon, should have 9 3/8 Buick rearend. There are no aftermarket gears or posis for the 9 3/8. Have to source quality used. Bearings, races, & seals are usually best sourced locally (for inspection), they will have to be bought individually as the 9 3/8 is an oddball, & '70 should have tapered axle bearings Autozone sells Timkem (the only thing I'll buy from the Zone). OReillys & many other chains & bearing houses sell Federal Mogul. Federal Mogul has gone through major reorganization in last few years. Many of new Federal Mogul bearings are made overseas (example Eastern Europe). As long as the bearing & race is not made of Chinese steel, you should be fine. :3gears: Roger
Wow no one makes gears. I would ahve though at least gears. What about the posi from the 66 riv I have? will it work? what about the gears. Robert you seem to be the man what gears and posi's from the car can I use in my wagon? thanks Doug
