i have noticed bearings on alot of different european motors have FAG marked on the edge.

is that the name of a company or maybe a standards marking like ISO, etc?

some real info would be great, keep the queer jokes to a minimum so this thread does not get pulled (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

FAG rear bearings are the ones to get....much better than SKF.

FAG Bearings is in Joplin MO. I just about ran off the road when I passed it one day, HUGE sign on the front of the building "FAG", I thought it must be a national headquarters or something... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/av-943.gif)

Porsche uses bearings from FAG, SKF, Glyco, and KS. Possibly others (like NSK) for A/C clutches and things like that. IME, and there's more than 40 years of it, they're interchangeable and the quality's always there. FAG is headquartered in Germany, SKF in Sweden. The Cap'n

I got a set of SKF that were made in POS.
Unfortunately, you can't tell they are bad till you torque down the big nut......then there was side play in one.....assholes.
