Can anyone tell me the appropriate part number for the inner and outer rear wheel bearings?

      Thanks!

      Once they start making noise, no amount of grease is going to fix it. The outers are always the first to go due to their size and the loading they see.

      Be sure to use a moly grease compound, not basic axle grease.

      currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
      94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.
