1950 Buick Super Front Wheel Bearings

[Kartman01]

I am in need of replacing the front wheel bearings and seals on my 1950 Buick Super. I can find parts readily available through O'Reilly, Auto Zone, etc.

but am concerned about the quality of bearings available these days. My experiece is most are simply overseas junk.

 

Does anyone on the forum know of a tapered bearing conversion kit available for 1950 Buicks?  

 

If not, any recommendations on where to source good quality, original style wheel bearings?

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

I was able to get a set of great OEM New Departure bearings from Mr. Pease. Thank you for that tip!

We found new old stock bearings at www.bobsautomobilia.com for our rear end. The inners were OE but the outers turned out to be chinesium. So ask before you order.
