Hi all,
Was looking for a set of bearings as I misplace a set I bought last year and found new ones listed on Amazon, betting there made in China but figured I'd share.
I did managed to find the set I misplaced, in that spot I would never forget, LOL.
Precision RW507AR Wheel Bearing
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009M5ESVQ?ie=UTF8&tag=18f02-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=B009M5ESVQ (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009M5ESVQ?ie=UTF8&tag=18f02-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=B009M5ESVQ)
Out of curiosity does anyone have a old catalog that shows them along with the sizes, I can find information about the "CR", "ER" & "GR" but nothing regarding the "AR".
Regards,

Jim,
The "R" at the end designates it comes with the retaining ring.
There was a RW507A also made , back in the day, that was used in a Chrysler application. I don't recall the exact one though.
When I restored our first GS, almost 30 years ago, the bearings were starting to get difficult to come up with. I found them at a bearing warehouse in St. Paul, MN. That was where I learned about the Chrysler bearing being the same with the exception being, the Chrysler application did not use a retainer.
