my 1986 c20 diesel suburban needs the bearings repacked but it is 8600 gvwr. this means the bearings and seals to this vehicle are unfamiliar to many of the people at the local parts houses. can anybody give me the gm or acdelco numbers for the front bearings and seals? thanks,

The reason for taking them with you is NAPA and Autozone have conflicting numbers for the inners Zone says set 45 for the inners, NAPA says set 35, so there is that. Both say the same for outers. It's a game!!

is there a difference in spindles for 2wd suburbans? Maybe check to see if they list a different options for spindles or if there is a RPO from a HD front for that year or yours specifically that could possibly call for a different bearing.
