Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!
If you are having rear axle failures and wheel bearing failures... you might want to examine your setup.. Its just not that common on these cars. Is something bent or rubbing?
OK I found it. The bearing has Green RW-902-V on it as the description. No other markings other than a symbol on the box which I don't recognize. It does come up as an available bearing number on the interwebs. Maybe get something like that from Moser?
Hows the inner seal? Axle looks like its wet from gear oil?
Are you shimming the axle for zero end-play when you replace the bearings?
I ran the other number (7451960 as best as I can read)on the bearings and it comes back as this:

They list it as a jeep bearing, which makes sense because jeep also used a dana 30
Same number comes up as a 70s gm bearing
I bet someone at IPD still knows about this. Were they not restoring their old race car recently?

We've always shimmed with a scrap of the dust shield (you can see it in the pic). Never any end play, no obvious drag due to preload. Obviously without it there's way too much preload and the bearing doesn't spin at all.
