Default Where to get good axle bearings?

I think my axle bearings are worn and if so what size do I need for a 02' Z28 and who has good ones for good price?

Are you talking about axle bearings inside the axle housing? or wheel bearings?

I got the seals from the dealer, didn't want to skimp on them. And got the bearings from Advance, they weren't too expensive.

I would avoid the bearing/seal combo that some places had. I think that's the only type autozone had.

Default bearing's and seal's

"R1563TAV" is the part number for the good bearing at NAPA. They run 21.49 a per bearing. "13992" is the number for the seal. They run 3.49 a seal. We also have some cheaper bearings for $8.69 per side.

NAPA
Total: $49.96

Timkin bearings and gm seals are the only way to go IMO
