yes my notifications fail too, 1/2 the time. no idea why.
yes the 97 has spring locks and 98. that nut is spring device locked, GM only
the reason i down graded is simple, no wish to have 2x $150 tools to do 1 job. so down grade i go. its a cheap fix. 2 nuts, to jams, 4 screws.
maybe some july aug, build cars, 1995 in cami, (was it with a VIN with CAMI prefixes?) VIN 2CBN = CAMI !! is it? the end of the VIN is plant code, is it?
maybe one plant, made care with 95 parts, or say 1/2 way? IDK ?
there are many plates, Iwata, CAMI, and in EUROPE in 2 places.
when one plant shuts down (they did, for 2 reasons, STRIKES and REFITS) sure did, and things changed, on that day .

my motto, fixing cars is easy but finding PARTS can be PURE HELL, and worst now with CHINA BS sold.(horrid)
ok the inner spindle is wrecked too, so buy only those with bearings needle. buy 97 or 98, and i bet most times its correct.
the 96 is ok, but the problem is 2 fold, swap hacks , and maybe early 96s had wrong parts, its only a theory,
ask the owner did you buy car new, (no) did you ever have front end axle work(yes) oops,
the 97 GEO is the the first car ever with axle NUT spring locks per my drawing i made mixing in all years, 96-98.
the problem with that , ONLY is getting that nut off, what I do is wreck the spring then with a large brass drift pin, bar, hammer the funny NUT< CCW off car, 160ft;/lbs it can be and hard.
these are CRUSH Bearing, in fact , not like any other bearing say like a boat trailer, looks same BUT ARE NOT in any way.
when crushed the clearance is .002" inches, (Timken specs it) so does KOYO.
the way to keep your axles bearings ok.
is when doing brake pads, we use a dial indicator on the bearing, (3 tests)
feel test, oops it's bad, never wrong. here. NO human on earth can feel .002" if you feel it , IT IS BAD.
dial indicator , shows its loose and bad. The page below , is Timken shows how long the bearing lasts set wrong, (not far)!!! hard cold facts, there, in a lab done, right.
and the rotation tests with fish scale pound gauge.
see my fish story here. it reads about 8lbs, this is how Samuri did it. and still works.
if you check bearings at PAD time the hubs do last forever, and all this grief ends....
test 4, gander test, if the grease the end bearing looks bad, well IT IS. use MOBLE 1 grease only, many greases now due to EPA meddling are CRAP, (warning )
