1952-59 Ford Seeking NOS '53 Ford Rear Wheel Bearings.

It's time. Found one side was dry and noisy. It's time.

The part number is 8A-1225.

They're normally sold with the retaining ring, 8A-1144.

I need two sets.

All leads to reliable sources will surely be appreciated.

 

NAPA should be able to get them anywhere in two or three days. If not, try
www.macsautoparts.com Macs is good people to do business with.

 

Ole Don --- My NAPA store admitted that 99% of their bearings come from OTHER than the USA, and he was unable to help any further.

Thanks, though, and Happy 2012.

 

Just a quick check shows that Ford bearing # 8A-1225 cross references as a Timken # 88107A. Auto Zone has a bearing for a 53 as a Timkien #88107AR for $95.99 and the seals cross reference to Timken # 51098 Auto Zone for $3.21. However, Rock Auto has the bearing for $58.79 and the seal for $3.71. Hope that helps.

 

I can't find much on NOS parts

 

If you put the numbers he posted above in Google followed by the word FORD it comes up with lots of suppliers,Macs' price is $29.95 each

 

Mac's looks like the place to go

 

Thanks to all who helped.

I found NOS bearings at a place called Miller Obsolete Parts. Nice knowledgeable guy named Mark. Excellent prices.

Always keep in mind "Little Dearborn" here in Minneapolis, MN. Very knowledgable guys there, and always seem to have the parts we need for our oldies...
