OzMacca Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Hey juggs but you've had a issue with Chinese bearings Cheers Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locodave Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Where are Timken made? Are they CHina? Because they are totally against cheap bearings! It's on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brickman Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 not to shore on the names off the jap bearing but timkin are also one off the best just take your old bearings with you and ask the sales man for options and prices cheers gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood Knot Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Go Timken - I think they pioneered tapered roller bearings. If what you are using are genuine taper timken bearings you will have no probs. As with so many things there can be imitations, there is some talk around of Chinese knock offs so buy them from someone reputable and you should be fine. Cheers Blood Knot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickman Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 after a quick chat to grubby [he orders our bearings] skf are now crap and as mentioned timkin are the best and there made in usa he called them the rolls off bearings cheers gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
