ZR-1 Net Registry Forums - View Single Post - F-Body wheel bearing installed

I mentioned to Karl that if it were me that I'd certainly consider the F-body for a '91+ car. The confirmation was done years ago and I guess the monetary savings would depend upon the brand, warranty and vendor for the bearing. It's good to see that it worked well for Karl and his install times are what I would consider reasonable. Once done of course the next pair would be somewhat less time consuming.

The bearing used for the install is a '93 - '02 F-body and the "branding" is "your choice"!

I believe that if a person had a '90 or earlier car which had an ABS defeat or the ABS was just broken that the bearing could be used also. I haven't had a pair of them "side-by-side" to check but I likely will. I'm not interested in the use for the '86 - '90 with ABS, but rather it would be maybe a less expensive/easier to procure bearing that could be used for the '84 & '85 cars that don't have ABS.

A friend has an '84 and he'll likely do and confirm the install. I'll pass on what I determine after I have one of each in a "side-by-side".
