    i priced timkens for i THINK 140 bucks each, i jus did my driver side with a cheaper aftermarket bearing for 58 bucks shipped. either way they are cheap and easy to fix i also had a 97 GT back in the day... i doggeddddddddd that thing out and it lasted to me around 200k miles when i sold it... only major thing i had to replace was a transmission one time..

    02 GTP with mods 05 GP for DD
