Rear axle bearing vendor choices

What about this part (axle shaft retainer / clip) MOTIVE GEAR 3833322:

Where does it go? No kits as far as I can tell contain it.

this looks like the "C" clip (retainer) from a 9.25. 8.75 uses nothing like this.

Or possibly an 8 1/4 rear.

But definitely not in an 8 3/4.

How did you search? In the part-number search yea I can plug in "set7" and see the timken show up, but how do you search for bearings based on size or based on axle (8.75) ?

1) google- punched in "1967 monaco rockauto"
2) on the site picked 383
3) then picked "brake & wheelhub"
4) then " wheel bearing"
Nothing to do with rear axle. But some of the listing's state which axle they'll fit.

from the Rockauto site...don't know if it means you actually get Timken or not

A lot of people use Timken as an adjective for any tapered roller bearing.

I note that rockauto sells "USA Standard Gear" USA10047 and USA10046 bearing kits for about $175 (for both sides).

I wouldn't be considering the 10046 kit because it's a green (ball) bearing.

Dr. Diff sells a kit that includes steel inner gasket, a choice of Timkin or Precision bearings, for $128.

The DrDiff package seems to be the no-brainer choice here - unless I'm missing something?

How likely would I need to replace the retainer plates? Again we have rock's US Standard Gear retainers coming in at $125 while DrDiff's custom machined (thicker) plates are $72.

For any of these kits, there is no difference between the 489/741/742 case? I have the 741 case.

I have NOS Mopar bearings and retainer plates should you want to go that route. I'd have to check on some of the other related parts as everything I have is individual, not in a kit. I think I have the seals too, but, gaskets, bearing retainer rings, and sponge gaskets I'm not sure. IIRC, my bearings are both USA made Bower/BCA and Timken brands. PM me if interested.
