RE: 4kq shock bearing part number(s)?

["Bruce Bell" <bbell04@ibm.net>]

My '87 4kq had the blue bearings  part # 857-412-323-B from the factory. I
used these same bearings on the front as the lists CW at the time indicated
much more longevity from the Blue Ur-q bearings. At roughly 4.5 times the
price, I hope so.
