Chevrolet Tri-5 Rear Axle Bearing Retainer Plates

Have you experienced leaking bearing retainers or bearing failure with your Tri-5?

This is an OEM bearing retianer removed from a 1955 Bel Air. It is bent, distorted and had been damaged when someone used a torch to assist with removal during a previous service.

The original design is weak and as it becomes bent and distorted it allows the bearing to move back and forth within the housing. The bearings are to be held in place by the retainer plates.

O-rings are not designed to move; they are designed to provide a seal between two non-moving parts. Eventually, this movement will cause damage to the o-ring seal, bearing, or both.

These bearing and retainer problems prompted Tri-5 WeeCrafted to design these new, stronger CNC machined bearing retainer plates.

Our Review

These Made in the USA Rear Axle Bearing Retainer Plates produced by Tri-5 WeeCrafted have been fully thought through, well crafted, and address a real problem with the Chevrolet Tri-5s.

Considering the costs of damage from a leaking o-ring or OEM retainer plate, this product is priced quite reasonably.
