Yes you can buy new ABS tone rings from us give me a call .

Or you can cut your old bearing and retainer off and press the old abs tone ring off and reuse it.

I recently installed The Alloy USA axles in the rear and it comes with everything but the retaining plates, which I got from the dealer. The alloy axles comes with bearings, tone ring, seals, and collar.

Once you get the retaining plates from the dealer (about $12 a piece), then you can press the bearings, tone ring and collar in place. The bearing and tone ring press on easily enough but the collar in a serious press fit.

Default misc. parts

Can I buy the tone ring and collar at a local auto parts store? Or how much would it cost to have the parts shipped to 30101 from northridge4x4.com?

Default press on easier

I'll throw this out there just incase it might help you. I work on aviation drivetrain and most of my job is bearings and bushings. Our big thing is heat and freeze. If you can fit the shafts in a deepfreezer go for it and heat the bearings. If they are greaseless and have no rubber to on them heat them up to about 200 otherwise just over 100degrees works. You'll be surprised how much easier stuff goes on sometimes in our case they drop on depending on the interference fit of the two items. Just remember when your putting on the bearing don't push the outer rings of the bearing push on the inner ring that mates up to the axle shaft.

ABS tone rings
Backing plates

And then you will have to have it all pressed on .

Just as a FYI when you order shafts from us we can install all that stuff for you and ship it to you for ease of installation.

If you have any questions feel free to call me

It is just a set 10 bearing and collar. You need to find a better auto parts store

If anybody needs anything like this I almost always have it all in stock.

thats for sure, if they can't look it up by vehicle year, they cant find it.

You should see when I asked for parts for my 54 Willys with a Chevy 350
