Kudos to Mark Horner for HOTB bearing article - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

After MR8 and the following Gathering at BG I drove home with complaining rear wheel bearings. Replaced them both with Moog. After MR9 I did a LOF and checked the car over. Front left wheel bearing had a bit of play so I have kept an eye on it. After reading his article on wheel bearings I put a dial indicator on it to discover .004 play. I am taking NO chances and have ordered a Timken from Rock Auto. Thank You Mark!

You are very welcome!
It was educational for me to write the article, having 'attended' Timken's bearing training to do so. www.timken.com/techseriespro

They certainly the longest lasting OEM replacements I've found.

Regards,
Mark
