Hey everyone i just recently purchased the TG axle service kit and was somewhat disappointed to have received Chinese made bearings. I wanted to know from any of you who have installed this kit already if these bearings are of good quality?

 

Same thing happened to me. I thought that they advertised them as having Japanese bearings, but went back to check and it wasn't specified. You would think that Trail Gear would have their S*** together, but I guess not. I ended up ordering some Koyo bearings to replace them.

 

This is one of the reasons that I went with the Marlin kit.

 

Yes it was a bit disappointing.the bearings do seem ok I'm hoping they will get me 20000 miles before they crap out

 

Been running the trail gear bearings for about 6 years now. No problems. Just make sure you pack them well with grease and you get your pre-load right. To many people miss the pre-load part and have bearings fail not long after installation.

 

What made you think they were Japanese? Their parts are cheap cuz they use Chinese steel.

 

I still cant believe how much JUNK comes from china. Everything that comes from china is junk. You'd think America would simply stop buying JUNK from their, but its places like trail gear that are supposed to be reputable that are selling the JUNK.

Hate everything that comes from china its all crap.
