Does anyone know of a source for front 88 wheel bearings?

Ebay has some vendors selling bearings, does anyone know if they are good?
They range in price from about $50, $60, $100 and pairs for $130[This message has been edited by Rickady88GT (edited 10-04-2021).]

I thought he stopped making those. Something about a failure on a track car?
I will see tomorrow if I can get some.
Thanks

Rock Auto lists them if you want standard duty OEM.
Rodney Dickman still has them listed on his site. But I would shoot him an e-mail to be sure he still has them in stock.

Thanks for the help. I am trying to order the Rodney rebuildable bearings.
For now I have an old used set that appears to be in better shape than what is in the car.
I also ordered a new inner tierod but I doubt it went bad. The alignment shop said the driver side is worn? The tierods are new with the power steering rack.

There are no standard duty OEM parts left anywhere. Everything on the normal automotive market is garbage Chinesium.[This message has been edited by Will (edited 10-07-2021).]

Ok, looks like I have some work to do.
The shop says the front top pivot on the A arms are maxed out. And that they could not improve the front alignment, the back was just untouched because the front couldn't be brought into spec.
So I need to inspect and verify the front adjustment issue. I have had this car aligned before and the shop never said there was an issue?

A) You may want to back off the Camber on the right front wheel and Increase the Caster angle (Try for equal amounts right/left) (the design allows for more of one vs less of the other)
B) I don't know if they make a ball joint for 88s that allow for more camber adjustment (the original 84-87 BJs would only allow for positive camber (STU-pid!) but after-market BJS have slotted holes allowing fro Negative camber)
C) I never liked the sealed bearings on the 88- I like being able to disassemble/inspect and then repack the 84-87 bearings, so the RD 88 bearings are a real improvement.
