Probably just clean off the surface rust. </div></div>x2
The bearing is better in my experience
Take the snap ring out the the bearing
Get the number off of the bearing
Hopefully you can get a replacement....

I will look into this, what is a positive of the bearing lower friction, longer lasting, able to handle more radial force?

Funny story: I received the quote to media blast and powder coat my frame, suspension pieces and one set of rims, one set of rims just blast and prime.

Although I am confident the facility would have done a great job the cost was not within my budget.

Again looking for a media blaster/powder coater semi close to me:-)

Why does everything have to be powder coated?

Have the frame blasted and blast all the small stuff yourself. Then paint everything.

Looking for the bolt on type as inconspicuous as possible:-)

I may have one of those bolt-on units here, but will have to check.
Took it off a car a few years back, and don't remember if I sold it or not.
If I find it, I'll get it to you. </div></div>

Sorry Ryan, I apparently sold that bolt-on loop along with some other performance stuff awhile back, just didn't remember specifically.

I am focusing on long term reliability, I plan to hand the car down from one generation to the next. I don't want my grandkids to have to take the car apart and re-restore it, unless they want to of course.

Power coat is better than paint.
