Leghome Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I am putting new rotors on my 72. The new rotors came without bearings and I am wondering which brand would be the best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imr Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 any bearing made in the USA, Europe, Japan..... China, India are a no go for me. I like timken but I'll use anything well made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 For years Timken bearings have been an industry standard. I haven't done wheel bearings in years so I can't say for sure that still holds true but I suspect it still is. rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCfan Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I used Motor City by Federal Mogul in my '70 4-speed and Timken in my '70 SS. No issues with either brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
