blaze Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Found a brand new wheel bearing in the back of a 97 OBW at local junk yard, sealed in plastic. Is it a rear wheel bearing? It seems to have ball bearings inside? No plastic part in the middle like the new ones have. Can it still be used? Info stamped on bearing: Japan HN NTN AUO827 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OB99W Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 [...]Info stamped on bearing:Japan HN NTN AUO827 It seems that the character between the "AU" and "827" is a "0" (zero), not an "O" (Oh).http://www.nskf-bearings.com/Product_number/products_general_catalogue/bearings_a.htm EDIT: An AU0827-4/L588 appears to cross to a Subaru part #28016FC001. That's a rear axle ball bearing, apparently one of those that don't live too long in Imprezas, Foresters, etc. It's usually replaced with an upgraded roller bearing kit for longer life.

Info stamped on bearing: Japan HN NTN AUO827 as long as you want a ball bearing, yes, it's usable. I'm not as "opposed" to ball bearings. Just need to be well lubed at installation and well sealed. Probably wouldn't want to use them in "salt road land", though. if you don't want to use it and want to find it a home, send me a PM (my 97 has balls) Hey! NO JOKES!! When I got rid of my Renault alliance I left a new had gasket set in it - I sure didn't NEED it at that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
