How do you identify ABS Bearings?
Hey Folks, I just bought a set of SG wheels 18" front 16" rear. I have a 2010 RK with non-abs. I'm not sure if the bearings in the SG wheels are abs or not. Is there a way I can tell by looking, is the part number on the bearing? It is my understanding that the abs bearing is thicker and the non-abs spacer would not fit properly. Do you think I should just buy new non-abs bearings? If so, where is the best place to buy other than the stealship? Thanks

Also the bearings will easily spin forward but not rearward with ABS wheeled bearings.

Should have been more clear. When the wheel is off the bearings will spin freely forward but not
freely backwards.

Thanks Mike for the laugh of the night!!!!!
P.S. Rearward is a word BUT i dont think it applies to the opposite of forward?
