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)? |

I have one NOS FAG made in Germany. Check with Rich at HPH and see IF he has anymore.
