Mark Shaw Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) I successfully replaced the outer front wheel bearings in my 1912 Model 34 Buick. Ball bearings with the threaded outside race are no longer made. So, I found two sets of TIMKIN # 1975 & #1931 tapered roller bearings that fit without spindle modifications. These worked nicely on my Model 34 Roadster and may also work on Model 10 and other series 25 Buicks.

Dwight Romberger Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Nice work Mark. Always great to find out "modern" replacements for unobtainable parts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dwight, The replacement bearings still didn't solve my "Death Wobble". So, today I will be installing a new steering damper made for a VW Bug. I'll post the results from that modification later in a separate thread... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwight Romberger Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Mark, That is a great idea. I would be interested in the effect. Dwight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
