SKF vs FAG
I thought I read recently that some of you have had issues with newer FAG bearings vs SKF - can you please comment? With that tip I tried to buy SKF's (which were made in Italy) from one of our favorite suppliers recently, but received - from their supplier - a chinese bearing in an SKF (made in Italy) box. Stuff happens, so no issues with one of our favorite suppliers . . . you know who you are - we thank you! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) I'll be attempting this replacement myself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) , so I don't want to do this again in 6 months, so should I insist on tracking down real SKF's? Are the older SKF's made in Germany and more reliable (and available from 'Teeners)? |

Hello MM1....what symptoms are you experiencing that makes you think you need new rear wheel bearings? Would love to hear (no pun intended) what your answer is.
Thank you very much. gg |

Hello MM1....what symptoms are you experiencing that makes you think you need new rear wheel bearings? Would love to hear (no pun intended) what your answer is. Thank you very much. gg Well - rather embarrassing - but (if you insist) my profile picture says it all. Jumping in with both feet and knowing next to nothing about 914/911's I thought that if the wheels are on it, I should be able to tow it . . .like any good ol' 'merican truck - right? 6 months later- I read something here about towing without the stub axles in . . .went to the garage and checked . . .yep massive wobble . . .it's a miracle I made it up and down the hills on the 101 without dragging my brand new money pit - I mean "project in boxes" - into the depths of true misery at 55 m.p.h. . . . I truly look forward to replacing that profile pic with a resurrected driver . . .warts and all. At least it's an original paint ivory white . . . (never liked white, but the hillclimber-look with positive stripe hooked me). I thought I read here a few years ago that a few of ya'll hadn't seen original paint ivory white in 20 years . . .is that true? (cue dashed justification for not repainting/"only original once" music - now) "Ode to Joy" or pleading the "Fifth" ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge6.gif) ![]() |
