bearings what's the difference

[dagwoodzz]

my choices

 

was looking to replace my wheel bearings. Went to Advanced Auto and the guy asked me if I wanted tappered cone or cupped. WTF?

 

anybody know the difference? does it matter?

 

"87's only came 4wd right? There should only be one that fits. Please enlighten me.

 

Thanks, Dag

There's only one type of wheel bearing. I'd try a different parts store. 87's came 2WD and 4WD.

Still won't work because the year, make, model and engine you chose are saved in a cookie on your computer, not on ours. We'd all have to go through the same rigamarole to view the parts, so it doesn't save any time posting a link for that search on that site in particular. No biggie.

a tapered roller bearing's two races are called the 'cone' (inner) and 'cup' (outer). my guess is that the only difference is the quality (i.e., warranty). one must not feature the outer race, which should be replaced with the bearing. i know that checker features skf bearings which often don't have the outer cup on tapered designs. if the guy was smart he would have pulled them both off the shelf, taken off the cup, and examined both, side to side. don't go to advance anyway, they're terrible. go to some place semi respectable please.
