Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if this 5/8" bearing is the right size for my kart?
A: This bearing is designed for big hub assemblies requiring a 5/8" inner diameter and a 1.625" outer diameter. If your current spindle or axle shaft measures 5/8" and your hub housing measures 1.625", this is the correct fit.
Q: Can I use this bearing on both the left and right front hubs?
A: Yes, this bearing is versatile. It is specifically engineered to fit seamlessly into big hub assemblies, including the left front when paired with a stepped right front big hub.
Q: How often should I replace my wheel bearings?
A: Bearing lifespan depends on track conditions. If you notice wheel wobble, increased friction, or grinding noises, it is time to replace them. We recommend inspecting your bearings before every race weekend to ensure smooth rotation and prevent mid-race failure.
Q: Is this bearing compatible with other Performance Mfg hubs?
A: Yes, this bearing shares the same outer diameter as our 3/4" ID bearing (34HB), allowing you to swap between different hub setups without needing to modify your existing hub housing.
Q: What is the benefit of the 1628-2RS rubber seal?
A: The 1628-2RS rubber seal provides a superior barrier against dirt, dust, and track debris compared to metal shields. This protection is essential for dirt karting, as it prevents contaminants from entering the race and causing premature wear.
