wheels bearing

I think your only choice/hope is to buy them in a reputable japanese brand(s): FKC/NACHI/NSK/NTN (who owns BCA/BOWER once a part of FM (Federal Mogul), if your lucky you MAY find some in INA (GERMAN brand that stills manufactuer in Germany) or *** N.O.S., or RHP (NSK own RHP since the early/late 90'
s), we can only procure/order&source&supply in both KOYO/NTN here in Australia, STAY AWAY from FBJ they're chinese GMB ...... even though a jap company source there product worldwide mainly/mostly asian countries so i personally wouldn't trust/use them , alot of aftermarket wheel bearing kits even though the box is marked/printed " MADE IN EUROPE/UK/USA" the bearings are either chinese/indian/korean unknown brands BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!.
 
Again, good info and advice.

And it is not only classic cars it is also late model that you cannot source quality parts for.
 
hello guys thanks for all these informations, i found them made by skf, and i've changed now the car runs good, without noise
 
BTW/FYI: TIMKEN rear axle/hub/wheel ball bearings are actually FAFNIR A USA company,
So even though the box's labelled 'TIMKEN" the bearing itself is FAFNIR as TIMKEN acquired&bought FAFNIR I DON'T KNOW if BCA (used to be a part of FM) ball bearings are still made in the USA as NTN japan now owns BCA/BOWER NTN is excellent quality on par with TIMKEN as they use the exact&precise same case-hardening process as does TIMKEN SKF do not on/with there tapered rollers nor do other brands of tapered roller bearings.

Your knowledge and experience sharing is appreciated.

Finding quality parts, even for a late model, is a challenge these days.
