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. |

ISO 9000 is not a bearing-specific standard. It also doesn't guarantee a quality product but is difficult enough to get that, like Jeff said, it does prove that you have a legitimate company with some quality assurance system in place.
That said, while I haven't tried any Chinese wheel bearings, other Chinese bearings I have used have been comparable in quality to FAG, Timkin, SKF, etc. |
