Does aftermarket brake rotor already have bearings installed for our lightnings is our rotors called a slip on rotor. i am thinking about ordering a set of drilled and slotted rotors for my 2003 lightning thanks

 

No. They might have outer races installed, but I would never mix-and-match races and bearings.

You can re-use your existing bearings, but I prefer to get new ones.

 

Again ditto w/ Tim,
When I bought my rotorpros,they came w/ the races installed and I just used new ford bearings for the install.I dealt with a low speed cycling howl until I bought new bearings for both rotors but this time I replaced the races w/ the ones that came matched from ford.All is quiet now.

 

Thanks tim you are right again, i plan on complete new set of timken bearings and seals although my 2003 lightnings has only 11000 total miles on it. I to don't want to mix match race or bearings.

 

I found out the hard way when I changed all 4 rotors on the 02 that the bearing didnt come with it #^)#%^)#*%^)#*%^)#%*
In my case I removed the originals and re-installed them and all went well,
but got dam was that a real PITA. Why they dont suggest and or offer you the new bearings when you buy new rotors is just beyond me ???

I always wondered why I couldnt stop that dam 02 until I changed the rotors and pads and saw how UNFRIGGINGBELIEVABLY Fk Up they were...

 

Rob,
Your post makes absolutely no sense!!! Why on God's green earth would you replace the pads and rotors for that shiny stuff?

Damn dude those things were f#cked up...
