    I have ordered lots of parts for an upcoming front-end rebuild. I was torn between ordering Koyo bearings from an ebay supplier or going with Timken bearingsa from Rockauto, but I check around these forums and saw where Timken was good too. The Timken bearings I ordered from RA came in the other day, and I was surprised to see they are actually Koyo bearings inside a Timken box...

    I did a little googling:

    Seems Koyo bought Timken awhile back?

    They are great quality bearings. No doubt last longer than some of us....
