F-Body wheel bearing installed

Y'know those would almost pay off in my Hoosier-shod Z. Problem is they'd be outside my class rules, "OE or parts store equivalent only". Of course I'd only get challenged if I were nationally competitive, which I'm not.

But then this year they've started an allowance in stock class for "common fixes not in the shop manual/parts store" realm I believe this is to allow the common BMW 3-series rear subframe fixes, Porsche IMS bearings etc. I think if I squint just right I might be able to see this rule being inherited into my class, making those hubs legal, sort of...

It looks like a nice piece. I'd consider it if I autocrossed regularly, or often took my car to the race track (road racing, not drag strip).

It's overkill for a street car, though, right?

Overkill, probably almost always unless you're having persistent problems and sick of such.

I've not had a problem on the street, and in fact had many fewer problems on the 88 autox car as it did get significant street miles. The Z is trailered, no plate, so no way to "break in" hubs. They seem to do better if they at least get a few K per year.

Until you try Hoosiers anyway!
