Mark,
Stick with the probable rated side thrust capability of the Moss items.

Subject: Rear Wheel Bearings
I picked up a set of rear wheel bearings locally that have 10 ball bearings
in a single row. This was crossed over from my original R M bearing that
has , 2 rows of about 13 ball bearings.(almost twice as many balls) Has
technology come that far where this is a correct substitution or should I
not
use a single row bearing unit for my rear axle. The bearing came up as a
transmission bearing in their computer and actually has a retaining ring
similar to an input shaft bearing. But I can remove that certainly.
All dimensions are the same, however it is about 1/8 of an inch thinner in
depth than the original.
I found Steve Byers article from 2002 in the archives but he returned these
bearings and went with Moss.
Has anyone tried these bearings recently , especially with all the new
rear-end gears that have been purchased?
Thanks,,, Mark
