Timken bearing issue

[Jason Banks]

Don't buy anything from Amazon that you want to make sure is authentic. So many counterfeits.

Even if you buy an item that is listed as "Sold by Amazon" they comingle their inventory. So, some seller may have sent counterfeits in to sell as the real thing. When you place an order they just pull the item from the closest(they may be other factors too) warehouse and send you that.

I won't order bearings, anything ACDelco, Motorcraft, injectors, sensors, anything where quality or precision matters.

With that said, a Koyo made in Japan bearing should be a good bearing.

Rockauto has been great for Timken bearings for me.

eBay is risky, unless the seller clearly states, what you see in the pictures is what you get.
