I will measure them. I am using OEM bearings only on this. I have learned my lesson with cheaper Chinese ones in the past.

Please ignore the milky looking oil. The reason it is like that is I spent an hour pressurewashing this thing off prior to installing it last weekend. I did drain all the water out prior to installation but there's always some left behind. My intention when I was installing it was to change the fluid this weekend but since I knew I was yanking it right back out for bearings I just parked the car.
