Ron,

Doing the same thing to #458. Bought a Timken. At one point you could find private labeled NDH bearings at AZ but I don't think so any longer.
Besides, how many miles will u be putting on the car yearly?

See what kind of Warranty they give you with Timken.

If Lifetime i would go with Timken and you'll never have to buy another bearing.

I don't seem to have any play in the Hub however I do have a little lash in the right side U-Joint... Also, the tires are as hard as rocks... I'll switch some rubber around and see what happens...

If there is no play in the hub - top to bottom or front to rear - then the bearing is not the problem. Sounds like a tire with some cupping ...

I thought of the same since I bought a set of NOS hubs for something like $120 each in 2010.
No such luck anymore - all sold out! Looks like they only have front hubs now.
