Default Rear axle bearings

My axle is leaking and I hear what sounds like a bearing going out. I have a '97 with the 4.2L I don't think anyone makes an offset bearing in case my axle is chewed up. Is there enough room to push a new bearing back far enough in case its damaged?

Yeah they do. It's a R1559 SKF or Timken. You can give that number to the parts store and they can set you up with the repair bearing/seal combo.

Yeah I finally found one online. The guy at the parts store probably didn't know what it was.
