After finally getting the rear spindles clean enough to inspect them I noticed one of them looks questionable, IMO. The outter bearing journal is my concern.
If anyone knows how I can tell for sure if this one is ok, please advise. I have attached a pic. You may have to make the pic a little bigger to really see it well.
In all my collected corvette manuals nothing gives me any specs so that I can make measurements to tell for sure.

Thanks,
John
 
John,
If you are talking about the journal farthest away from the lugnuts (inner) it looks like the bearing has spun on it at one time.
There's a good chance that the end is now brittle. Definitely need to replace it.
