9" rear axle bearing

[newstang 388]

pulled out my axle today because it sounds like I was riding a horse and the bearing fell apart on me.

its only a year old.  Im now looking for an AMERICAN made bearing so im thinking Timken. Any thoughts?

if so anyone have a part number? 

I cant seem to find it .

thx

Moser, Strange, and Currie all sell bearings, check the Summit Website.   Do you have a sealed bearing style or the style that needs to be lubricated....

Mine is a large bearing Torino style rear, with sealed bearings, retainer, and oil seal.  Does not need axle lubricant to work. Many Mustangs are a different style.

Replaced my axle bearings last year. Don't member the part number, but I ordered them from Summit Racing. They were Timken bearings, stamped made in Japan. Quality looked very good. Put about 4000 miles on them. No problems.

I believe your looking for a Timken RW207CCRA. This is assuming small bearing housing with 28 spline axle.

If you have Torino style then that is big bearing, you need to measure the inside and outside dimensions

There was a time all Timken bearings were U.S. made.  For a long time now, I'm guessing at least 25 years, Timken has offered both U.S. and imported bearings.  Most Timken bearings you find in parts stores are imported.  Industrial supply stores will carry the U.S. made bearings.  NAPA will sometimes have the U.S. made bearings.  Bearings sold by companies like Moser, Currie, etc. are usually U.S. made.  As you can guess, there is a big price difference between the two.
