Am I reading this right about wheel bearings?
Front takes 2 Front, 6204-2RS
Rear takes 1 each of left rear 6204-2RS and 1 each of 5204
Thanks

That's correct provided you have a '98 - '03. The '97 front wheel bearings were a bit smaller.

Moreover, valk wheel bearings are fairly standard; that is, if you have the sizes written down,
any
place with bearings will have them.
I would avoid Chinese.

If you do find yourself with Chinese bearings at least peel the seal out and grease them. Every Chinese bearing I have seen had little to no grease in them. Why ??? cheaper, hazard to ship ($$$) don't know why

There is a modification you can make to the rear wheel to use only 5204 double row bearings. I've done this to my Interstate and others in the DFW area have done this as well. The 6204 left bearing is the one that most frequently fails so this mod was born.

I too have done this mod when going over to the darkside. No problem to date.
