REGAL Axle shaft bearings brand names

[Tim & sleek]

I am rebuilding my 7 5/8 rearend in my 81 Buick Regal I need to put new axle shaft bearings in I just bought mosher replacement 28 spline axles I need new bearings and I called the local part store and they come up with names i have never heard of any suggestions on a good quality trust worth bearing because I don't want to do this again. The pix is the axle I had to replace because of the bearing bn bad

Timken and SKF are the better aftermarket names. AC Delco, BCA and National are other safe choices.

If you splurged for Moser axles, then get Timken bearings.

ACDelco is simply repackaged Timken sets with race and bearing where applicable. Timken usually sells the race and bearings separate. They do sell sets, but you have to make sure what you're buying. I scarf them up on ebay under the ACDelco brand name usually pretty cheap. Better than buying the Timken bearings outright. Same stuff. Better price.

Koyo (Japan) is a good brand of bearing, too. BCA and National work well also as mentioned, and National does well with seals. There was a time Japanese made stuff was junk. Not the case anymore.

A general consensus would be Timken wherever you can find them.

are you sure you bought 28 spline axles, are you sure you need them. stock axle spline is 26 for our cars with 7.5/7.625

Under a different thread, he described putting in a Torsen differential from a 90s Camaro. Thus, 28-spline.

I did the same build 8/9 years ago. Camaro diff, 28 spline Mosers, and I probably went with Timkens. I remember my dad suggesting them.
