Axle bearing question
« on: June 27, 2015, 10:43:51 PM »
I run Mosers in my Mustang and really like the sealed bearing (no axle seals needed)

In my F100 I run stock 28 spline axles, stock housing, do you know if I can use the same style bearing?  I can't see why not.  Anyone ever do it?

I have the axles out now and one side is leaking yet again, would like to press some bearings on it and be done with it.  I'll call Moser or Currie Monday but wondering if anyone has done it

Ross, my 76 F100 uses Moser axle bearings.  No problems.

Cool, thanks guys, I have fought leaky axle seals off and on since 1984 in this truck with every combination of stock parts. NEVER in my Mustang with the Moser bearings.  Going to see if I can get the bearings and retainer plates like the Mustang uses

I got mine at Summit racing.  As far as leaks, I just smear a tiny bit of rtv and have never seen a leak with no gasket or anything like that.
I however reused my retainer on my 76 F100.  I use the moser retainers on my Galaxie.
