I bought a set of inner & outer wheel bearings from rockauto 8 months ago for my 4-lug 1979. Finally get around to putting them on today, and heyyyy they're too big, probably meant for the 5-lug toofahs.

Centric part #41091006E and #41091002E. They are listed as 4-lug, but clearly that is wrong.

Anyway I called rockauto, but they simply didn't care. And they wanted to put the burden of proving their catalog error on me, the customer. Long story short, I don't plan on buying anything from them anytime soon.

I'll probably just go to autozone for my bearings. Can anybody at least verify that their's are accurate?

FAG 7136102300 is the entire kit. . .list around $60 per wheel, street price is waaaay lower.

Sorry about your mix up. But Rock Auto does have a 30 day return policy. Sounds like you exceeded that by a lot.

You also did not mention about disputing this with your credit card company.

Rock Auto has some great prices and many people swear by them.

I don't CARE about returning the parts, or the 30 day policy. What I care about is the "####-you" attitude I got from them about their incorrect compatibility listing. What I care about is the next board member who buys their parts and ends up with their 924 stuck on jack stands for another 2 weeks because RA doesn't care about ensuring an accurate catalog!
