  • who sell the timkin bearings?

    and do I need to replace the nut things as well? who has them both?
    or does a chain like A zone carry those?

    I assume you mean for the rear bearings.
    Call or look online, AZ or Advance Auto one of them, doesn't carry Timkin for some reason.
    And yes, if you have the crush nut you will need to replace it.
    Or you can drill the spindles and go with the later Castellated nut/cotter key arrangement also found on the Aspire.

            They wont price match RockAuto. They usually pricematch other stores, with proof.

            On a small item like bearings, and with shipping on RA items, it usually comes about to the same price to just buy them at AZ.

              the bearings at AZ were only $23 for both rears but they didn't know what a crush nut was
              (nor do I) so what is it really called or where do I get those and a part # if you got it.

                Given your vague initial posting I think you gotten good info.

                They are called, generically, crush nuts.
                More specifically, if you were at an AZ and told the counter person you need something more than "nut things" they'd have know what to look for.
                Again, assuming you don't has the castellated nut and cotter pin setup with drilled spindles, ask for rear spindle nuts, they are left and right specific.
                The pass side is left hand thread, unless it has been swapped.
                They usually have one or the other but not both.
                So be prepared to order the one they don't have.
                You can save yourself some time by looking at the AZ or Advance web site and order them there or get the numbers and have them order them.
                Be aware there are substantial differences in the cost of these, shop around.
                AZ once tried to sell me one of these for $22, I said no thank you.
                Should be between 4 and $8 each.

                  At Rock Auto they are called "spindle nuts", under the Brake/Wheel Hub category. Get the Beck/Arnley ones, $1.96. Note that they are color-coded, and have different thread directions for the left and right sides. Auto parts stores carry them too; they should show up in their computer. The counter guy probably didn't know the right term.

                      The couple of times I bought spindle nuts at Autozone, I discovered that the numbers were switched on them. So now I always order both nuts. I know I'll need them anyway.

                        I got mine through Amazon. Since I have prime, shipping was free and I had them in 2 days.
