Rear wheel bearing
quick question - what are the 'budget' rear wheel bearings that the likes of Ecklers sell like? Are they any good or not?
I would only fit OEM bearings to the front but wonder if the extra expense is worth it on the rear. The failed AC Delco on the rear is only a few years old.

Re: Rear wheel bearing
I would not recommend any cheap knockoffs. I prefer to recommend the GM bearings as they withstand the rigors of hard driving better. But I am optimistic of a new bearing that is out/being released from Van Steel. The ones below are for a C5, but supposedly C4 bearings are in the mix as well.

Re: Rear wheel bearing
Those pics show the roller hubs vs the stock ball bearing hubs. Rollers are far superior. I think the rears are ready and front in few months. Well worth the wait. Ill be trying front and rear in early summer.

Re: Rear wheel bearing
Attention to detail and quality - If they performe as well as they look it would be worth the extra expense - even if you don't look at them all the time.
