I can't remember what brand the front inner and outer wheel bearings are on the FB. Can someone help me out? I'm pretty sure the front inners are NSK? Is that right? Also, are the outers NSK or Koyo? Mine need replaced and I want to make sure I'm getting good OEM bearings, not Chinese crap. Beck/Arnley bearings appear to be good Japanese quality. They supply NSK inners and Koyo outers.

Thoughts/input from someone who replaced theirs recently would be great. I'm tired of buying crap parts from Autozone. Only good stuff for me from here on out.

im pretty sure the OE's are Koyo's, but cant go wrong with either NSK, Koyo or SKF

I'm not familiar with SKF. Who sells those?

I dont remember which parts store chains carry SKF (maybe napa or carquest) but i know they can be found at rockauto and other online stores. but like i said, any of the brands I listed I would trust on my cars. 2 japanese and 1 swedish, all premium product

Timken tapered roller bearings from summit. And beck/arnley oil seals from rock auto which are made from Taiwan. I wasn't worried about seal as much as I was bearings. Timken..com

I'm able to find NSK outers and Koyo inners at a decent price, so I think that's what I'll end up doing. I hate mismatching manufacturers like that, but don't have much of a choice I guess.

If anyone has taken apart their front end lately and could let me know for sure what brand the OEM bearings are that would be great. I'm pretty sure they are NSK, but can't remember for sure. I can't imagine the OEM inner and outer bearings are a different manufacturer.

Can't go wrong with timken bearings and seals. I just take my old bearings down the the local jobber and they match them up on the spot

I would honestly go with timken because there are so many fakes out there.

We've had good experience with those three as well on the cars we own.
