Hi All,

Does anyone know what size front wheels bearings are needed for a stock 1970 340 Challenger please?  The car has standard hubs / drums all around.

Rockauto are showing 3 sizes, 9" 10" and 11".  Not sure which one and manufacture to order.

Thanks for any help you can give.

This is what I recently ordered for fronts for my 70, it's a power front disc car with 10" rear drums, I haven't installed them yet. I believe you would use the same ones for your 340.

Timken has always been a big name in bearings so that's what jumped out at me when I ordered mine.

I'd pull a front wheel and a rear wheel off the car and measure the drum diameter to be certain I'm getting the right size. My 71 340 has 11 inch drums all the way around. Take the guesswork out and measure your drums.

I did a bit of digging and found out the 1970 A66 Challenger had the R/T heavy duty 11" drums.  I measured them at 11" too.  So I've order Timken's from Rockauto. 

Thanks for your help and recommendations.
