Bearing Kit GM Metric 79 & Up

The Bearing Kit GM Metric 79 & Up by AFCO RACING PRODUCTS is an essential precision component for any serious GM performance build or restoration. Designed for General Motors vehicles equipped with metric bearing standards from 1979 onward, this kit delivers the ball and roller bearings necessary for smooth, reliable suspension and drivetrain operation. Whether you're rebuilding a classic Chevelle, Camaro, or modern LS-swap project, having OEM-spec bearing replacements ensures your suspension geometry remains true and your vehicle handles predictably under both street and track conditions.

AFCO Racing Products engineered this bearing kit to meet strict metric tolerances that GM established for its platform family across four decades of production. The kit contains precision-ground balls and rollers manufactured from high-carbon steel, capable of handling lateral loads and rotational stress without premature wear or play development. Proper bearing preload and lubrication—both facilitated by a complete kit like this—reduce friction losses, minimize suspension deflection under cornering, and extend the life of related components like hubs, spindles, and CV joints. The compact 4.9 x 1 x 6.2-inch package houses multiple bearing races and spacers, making it ideal for mechanics who prefer to source all necessary components in one transaction rather than chasing individual part numbers across suppliers.

This bearing kit serves restoration shops, weekend drag racers, and street-performance builders working on second- and third-generation F-body Camaros, Firebirds, and their full-size truck and van cousins. Installation requires basic mechanical aptitude and standard bearing puller and installer tools; removing old bearings and pressing fresh units ensures your suspension pivot points operate without slop or noise. Compatibility spans all GM metric-bearing platforms from 1979 through the evolution of these chassis families, making it a reliable reference component for anyone planning comprehensive front-end or rear-axle service on classic and early-modern Chevrolet and GMC vehicles.
