I need new rear wheel bearings, and the parts bin has them for $30 instead of $60 or $70 everywhere else. My question is this: is there a difference between the bearings for the 5 lug hubs and the 4 lug hubs? I have the 5 lugs, and wnat to make sure i'm ordering the right bearings.
I've already emailed "thepartsbin" but dont know how much help they'll be. anyone here have experience with the parts bin, rear wheel bearings, or just really know their **** and have the answer?

thanks in advance guys! -Matt

I got mine from the local parts store and they came sealed. 36 bucks for both I believe?

two questions, and sorry if they seem obvious, but:

what is a wheel seal, where is it located, and can it be reused?
and to ni5mo180sx: where did you get a pair of sealed bearings for 36 BUCKS!?

It was from a local place here called Auto Supply wherehouse. Looks like all their stores are in the South CA area. But it was 30.98 for the bearing.

I think the seal hes referring to are the seals around the bearing maybe?? Cant believe it was only 2 months ago I finished the 5 lug conversion

Edit- thats the price per bearing, forget I made two trips there for each bearing.
