Hey guys i'm starting my 8.8 swap, explorer center section with f-body tubes, and 2 explorer drivers side 31 spline axles. I just noticed the axle doesnt slide into the wheel bearing because its a larger diameter. Does anyone know if there even is a bearing that will accommodate the ford axles and chevy tubes? If so please let me know a part number the bearing and seal .i tried a search but either people use c clip eliminators or 28 spline shafts, or order new axles. I'm trying to be as cost effective as possible. Thx a lot!

Not sure you can find the appropriate bearing. The 8.8 bearing has 1.622" ID and .823" width. The 10-bolt bearing has 2.252" OD and .698" width.

Just order new alxes from moser for $405 shipped to fit the 10 bolt tubes.

Yeah I know I could do that, but it's not gonna help being cost effective..... Rather spend $50 on bearings and seals if possible, but I'm quickly realizing that's not an option... Unless someone else knows
