Leghome Posted June 2, 2019 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
imr Posted June 2, 2019 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
Rob Peters Posted June 2, 2019 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
MCfan Posted June 3, 2019 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
stangeba Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 I bought replacement rotors and after a few years one of the race's went bad. Bruce Quote
Leghome Posted June 4, 2019 Author Posted June 4, 2019 Ordered Timken bearings form Rock Auto should be here Thurs./Fri. Still trying to decide if I need to replace the race's in the new Power Stop Rotors. Quote
imr Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 I personally would order the bearing race set. i personally dont like to mix and match. i know at work we swap bearings and dont replace race with no problems but for my personal stuff i wouldnt Quote
Leghome Posted June 5, 2019 Author Posted June 5, 2019 Yes I ordered the bearing set 2 and set 6 which was recommended by Rock Auto. One of the sets arrived today and the other should be here tomorrow or Friday Quote
