      im not sure, but they are packaged differently and put under a different name, so i think they would be different, but dont count on what i say.

      They should be the same bearings but the Overlander has 2 extra (9pcs instead of 7) I believe.

      Just put what fits into your car. 4pcs 620 (6x2mm) into the front wheels, 3pcs of 630 (6x3mm) onto rear axle – unless you’ve junked the std diff in which case you only need 2pcs.

      And lucky you, should have 2 or 3pcs spare. 🙂

      the left rear wheel rotates with the axle…therefore its not nessesary to have a bearing, because it doesnt rotate. I have one bearingon the rear right (the side closest to the diff) and 2 bearings in the chassis where the axle slots thru..

      LOL the bearings make a difference, but damn the diff is still so clunky cuz it dont have bearings. Do the ball diffs have bearings?

      Balldiffs usually have a “thrust bearing” where the adjusting screw rides on; instead of an axle in a hole that a ballbearing works for, the thrust bearing is like the lazy susan at the dining table.

      Thrust bearings can be plain flat bushings or tiny balls in a cage sandwiched between 2 flat washers.

      Ask your mums what a “lazy susan” is… (but be a bit more tactful if your Mum = Susan!!!) 🙂

      Its the round turntable thingy in the middle of the dining table that spins your shared meal around… probably more common on a chinese restaurant table.
