SKF or TIMKEN or BCA/NTN wheel bearing?

[notharry]

Well I just put a Timken on my right rear and a BCA on my left rear in my CRV they look identical only time and miles will tell. It kinda bothers my OCD having two different brands but not enough to do it again. Lol

Schaeffler / INA/ FAG looks to be the same manufacturer. I love high end competition. !! NICE!

Bearings are strong. But as most know they are also weak. Impact wrenches installing axle nuts is a no no. The stationary shaking (hammering) will damage the micro smooth surfaces inside these. Sure take them off with a mpact is fine. Also the torque is critical on the nut. The torque loads the bearing properly. Loaner TW can be had at Adv Auto for zip.

Timken used to be my favorite, but they have been going through a lot of cost cutting and off-shoring. I wouldn't anymore.

For Japanese auto I would probably go NSK or NTN if I could get it.

Schaeffler is very high quality also (German, privately owned, no signs of cost cutting).

+1 for FAG.

NTN, SKF, INA before FAG but thats me.

Why, what's wrong with FAG?

I just replaced a bearing on my 21 with BCA. Seems like they manufacture about 30% of Oem bearings, so I figure I have a 1 in 3 chance of using what Nissan uses. So far so good.
