Re: Rear wheel bearing

Whilst on the topic, the Seven rear wheel bearings are very adequate for the car weight. Provided the tracks and balls are free of pits or spalls, generous shake and clearance is of no consequence. With old cars everything is likely somewhat out of kilter and a slack race accommodates, and is preferable to a close fit new standard tolerance bearing. For semi floating axles, effectively the same situation, NSK recommend a C5 bearing, with 2-3X the internal clearance of a standard bearing.
