We need a new rear bearing for the chump car.
I noticed FAG are 38 and SWF are 82 from the bird board. Is the SWF better quality? Will the concours judges ding us? :-) John |

Remember, these days, e v e r y t h i n g is made in China.
Even though SKF is a Swedish company, they get their stuff from the same people using 142 + vendors. Go german if you can. They make the best bearings. |
