If they have them your local bearing or NAPA store have them or can get them usually the next day and usually at a steep discount to what Cars Inc.  et. al. charge (plus shipping of course)...................Bob

The original bearing was a Bower RA1502EL bearing.   Look for that.  Some of the replacements are Pacific Rim junk that only fail miles from home.  The inner race on the axle is available from some of the mentioned suppliers, but use your old one if no pits or deep grooves.

The "best price"isn`t always the best buy?There are a lot of bad copies on the maket?As "old-tank" say "Some of the replacements are Pacific Rim junk that only fail miles from home."

If you deal directly with a bearing store they often can supply a couple of options on price and quality.........Bob.
