Wheel Bearing Kit

Are those OEM bearings?

I would be wary of any non-OEM bearing kit found on ebay (or anywhere for that matter)

I guess those are next of the list.. HOws the result for you? Feel tighter up there? I have an OME steering bar coming, so with new bearings I should be ok for a while..

I can't say for sure, as I'm still waiting to put my engine back in. I replaced the bearings, CV joints, basically the entire suspension while doing my frame off restore.

The bearings I got from them are Koyo (or Timken, can't remember now), so its not like they were no names. Looking at his site, I can't imagine them being poor quality. He certainly knows his drivetrain.
