It’s been a while since I bought any, but I bought an inner and outer for one side. Here’s a picture of the outer. A plastic cage …… seriously?

Why do they need to be replaced?
I can only think of one time I saw a tapered roller bearing in a Chrysler car go bad (and that was likely someones error that caused it).

RC...I would recommend the Timken Bearings. I got all mine when I was in the hobby more from NAPA and have always had the best luck with them lasting a very long time. Plus being old school, I prefer to hand pack them as opposed to using one of them new fangled units you can buy these days. That way I know it was done completely and correct...cr8crshr/Bill
With all front wheel bearings to pack, I used this gizmo and my grease gun. Works like a charm.
