needing FW bearing for 67 Toro

Cranbrook · May 29th, 2008, 10:00 AM

I have been finding bearings for people the last 33 years with my job and can't find one for my wifes 67 Toronado.
The front wheel bearing was GMs NDH company and the part is long discontinued. Naturally I can bush or sleeve a common bearing but this must be a common problem. If this has been beat to death before, sorry. I just joined.
My car is a 63 Starfire which is easy to work on and get parts for. These Toronados are brutal.

Hi there. Quit searching...I already went through this with several bearing shops and supply houses. The bearings are available at Fusick and Kanter in limited supply and cost about 250 each. I bought new ones for my 67 and have a few good used ones that were taken off parts cars if you want to go that way for 75. Caution on the bush and sleeve though, these bearings are massive and slight misalignments will reap disaster in a hurry. Remember there is a lot of forces at work here on first gen Toro cars.
