DO we know for a fact the Chinese bearings are poorly made? Does anyone have any real world use to report? I have some I am going to use. These bearings are made to ISO 9000 spec. This is an international standard for manufactures, SO why wouldn't that be as good as the other bearing manufactures? Are we sticking our nose in the air over nothing? The European parts manufactures do not seem to want to make the parts for our old cars.
What will really blow you away is the amount of VW parts now being made in China. Do a Google and see what comes up. I was amazed. |

This thread will be a moot point very shortly. Manufacturers like FAG and SKF are screwing the pooch by not managing the supply chain. We've gone for months without inner front wheel bearing for 914's and 911's. The market will not put up with these supply issues any longer. Now, every time they leave a void in the market, it is immediately filled.
I doubt there will be serious problems with the Chinese bearings moving forward. We had better hope not because soon, that will be all there is. |
