I'm working on a 1937 115C- unlike some of the more experienced Packard owners on this site, I'm on my first, and thus far, only Packard automobile. Sharing a name with a marquee doesn't mean every car I've owned has been a Packard!

Thanks for the insight on the Timken website. I'll check that out.

Incidentally, my front wheel bearings were replaced with Timken units at some point in the cars life. I'm thinking this indicates that the odometer reading of 37k is the second time around. I also think someone rebuilt the front end years ago. The king pins, lower support arm out bearings, and outer tie rod ends all seemed very tight, but all the rubber was shot. I think age vice mileage.

... getting a bit off topic- guess this is for my blog. Thanks, as always, O-D for the thoughts. I'm starting to think I should just bypass this whole forum thing and put you on speed dial!
