Trailing Arm Rebuild Questions

Gary, that $50 estimate I quoted earlier in this thread was for one set of Timkens and seals from Autozone. This was in 2004 so I'm sure prices are higher now. Everything I got said made in USA except the inner race which said made in Canada.
BTW, I recall you saying you're using something other than M1 grease now? Curious as to what you've gone to. I was reading a discussion not long ago saying the the M1 now sold in the USA may be a different formulation, but that the original stuff is still sold in Canada.
See the last 4 posts on this page. There are links to the specs of what appear to be 2 different versions of M1.

Hey Rip
Good to hear from you again. Bearings have gone for sure. Timken went up 5-6% last year, Tom's stuff went up 10% in Jan 09.

I no longer trust the Mobil 1 for bearing work,especially rear setups. I found it really created some drag on my setups. This was comparing the old vs the new formulation. I use Timken grease now, just not that common to get.

Thanks Gary.....good info. I'll make a mental note on that Timken grease.
