1959 Olds front bearings.

Hi All,

I am replacing the front bearings on my stock 1959 Olds Delta 88. I ordered a set from Fusick and Rock Auto and they don`t fit. I am 100% sure that the drums have not been changed, since my car is low miles and basically untouched.

The p/n from Fusick is 909066 (Inner) and has a diameter of appr. 75 mm. The drum I have has a slightly smaller diameter, appr. 72 mm.

The outer bearing appears close, but real tight. I ordered them with Rock Auto and p/n is NAT 873.

Has anyone experienced that the socalled stock bearings didn`t fit? And replacement details?

Thanks,

The numbers are on the old bearings --- along the ledge of the bearing....
The bearings you ordered in both cases are Chineseum... and they are known to be too thin....

I have *** N.O.S. *** U.S.A. made *** Bearings --- that are Always Perfect.......

Always best to simply call me --- 516 - 485 - 193five --- Craig.....
