ZRX Doug Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 HELP! My left rear wheel bearings on my '89 GL 4x4 are pretty much history, and the rights can't be far behind..my local auto parts guys are clueless ("duh, gee, should I order the $59 dollar bearing or the $79 dollar one? I don't have any idea which one fits your car, Mr. Customer"), and frankly I don't wanna spend EITHER amount at this point in time.. *Anyone got any idea what the bearing numbers were for the original inner & outer rear bearings/races? I'd much rather just slope over to my local bearing supplier and get 'em for about one fourth the cash..but I don't wanna have to tear the car apart first to match up parts, yanno? *I figgered I'd highlite the actual question before y'all got lost in my incoherent ramblings.. Sorry for the repeat question, but I've searched the site 'til my fingers went numb as my skull and didn't find the answer in the umpteen gazillion rear wheel bearing threads.

Gloyale Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 You're 89 may not have an inner and outer tappered bearing. It may have the large single roller bearing. I'm not sure when they switched. But You may just have to tear into it to find out. 89 FSM shows the 2 tappered bearing setup, but I've taken apart an 88 DL that had the single roller bearing.

GeneralDisorder Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 The whole bearing assembly must be replaced. There were two types used - early bearings were a single sealed unit, and later they changed to the three peice affair with two taper bearings/races and a spacer. The part numbers were superceeded and the new part is backwards compatible. All EA series 4WD trailing arms use the same system - only the bearing assembly itself changed in design. The WHOLE mess has to come out not just the outer taper bearings. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZRX Doug Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 Yeah, I realize that the outer race (or races, if it's two piece) needs to come out, and I figured that either setup worked since the axle stub & carrier are the same parts with both versions. I'm just wondering if anyone has a part number or bearing number(s) available so I can order the correct stuff BEFORE tearing the car apart to minimize my downtime.

Gloyale Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 85 parts catalog shows the single roller bearing(?) Subaru part# 6210 14110 That's the best I can do cause I only have a parts catalog for 85. I'm sure it was superceded by another part number later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hush777 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 My Mitchell says the part number for a 91 loyale is 906100007 Hush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wes200x Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Well the number on one of my bearings is NTN 4T-CR1-0683. But there is no number on the race. The race intsself is one piece for both bearings that I'm sure was specially made for subaru. So I don't think you will be able to get it from your local bearing shop. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hush777 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I think you number is off just a little. the new ntn bearings still in the box that I have are 4t-CRI-0685CS110 I know the numbers are small and it is almost impossible to tell the 3's and 5's apart.
