9 bolt experts....

Where can I find axle repair bearings for the 9 bolt rear. My axles seem to have a little play in them creating an annoying rattle. There are only a few posts mentioning repair bearings but not where to get them. Thanks.

They carry stock replacements only. I need the offset repair bearings.

Sorry, I just got back from Italy last night and as usual on internation trips I had very limited email access (PS, the new site will have a phone number too - coming soon).

Sorry I can't help you out with anything besides standard bearings.

offset repair bearings are for the 10 bolt style of bearing only where the bearing rides directly on the axle shaft itself.

The 9-bolt uses a different style of outer bearing that is pressed on to the axle - and the bearing does not ride directly on the shaft.

There is no offset repair bearings for 9-bolts - they are not nesscsary. The standard replacements are what you need.
