Hey, i have seen before also people stating something about getting cheaper bearings somewheres alos. But from owning a few of them, i could only get them through a laeger dealers, and boy were they expensive, thats the main reason a started staying away from them, great front end but high maintence. Not only are there bearings, but bushings also. The stem bushings seem to wear the quickest. We'd have a new set in, and after a week or so have play in them already, not alot, but enough that it bugged me, im particular:) Also, not sure if you know how to disassemble the uprights(t pins) but you need to remove the grease zerk on the side, and there will be a small roll pin, you have to beat it through, then take the top and bottom clevis's and unscrew them. I have cheated with the uprights before in a jam and put o rings on them and just pack it a little tighter with grease. Work of advice though, with all new bearings and bushings, try not to over grease them, they seen to go quicker on the guys that are always pumping alot of grease in them all the time. You might want to spray a lubricant also in the stem clevis also before removing, i have had them seized up bad before in there. Just let me know if you have any other questions i can help you with.
Thank you
Justin
