I have know knowledge of any specifics on your year and model.
In general if it is a ball bearing or double row ball bearing I can't see that it would matter.
However, it is common to mount the bearings with the bearing number facing out where you can read it. That is just to make it easier go order a new bearing.


Personally if I have time I like to get the bearing number and use the number to search on eBay for one that is made in the USA, Japan or even Korea. Because the Bearing Companies sell several grades of bearings. That means National sells the same bearing made in China as it may made in the USA or Japan or ?


You also save about 1/2 of the cost doing that.
