I have some 3/4" sealed wheel bearings as well as some 1" sealed wheel bearings that I'm assuming are 20+ years old that I'd like to replace.

What's the general consensus on the best wheel bearings? Is OEM preferred? Timken? All *****?

Trying to avoid anything manufactured in China if possible.

If you are going to offer Timken can you please provide part numbers or even a reputable website to purchase from?

Thank you

 

I got mine at https://brocksperformance.com/wheels...o3iF09T2k4yH-z

 

I'm sure those ceramic bearings are truly the best but I'm just not willing to cough up the coin for those.

EDIT - I'm just now seeing that Brock's offers more than just the ceramic bearings, they also have steel bearings. Which option did you go with?

 

Steel, Nothing bad to say abut them.

 

Interesting, according to the website they are from "Worldwide Bearings" but I can't seem to find where they're manufactured. Looking at All ***** website, they don't publish where their bearings are manufactured either.

The current bearings in my 03 XL are stamped Canada and show HD9267.

Does anyone know where the genuine HD bearings are currently being produced?

 

World wide Bearings says assembled in USA

 

I wonder if that's just for the ceramic versions, or does that include the steel models as well?

 

Just researching Timken branded options, I see that the 25mm offering is part# 205PP

Does anyone know the Timken parts numbers for replacing the Harley 3/4" sealed bearing (HD# 9267) as well as the Harley 1" sealed bearing (HD# 9247)?

 

All ***** are made in China

Yeah, I'll be passing on the All ***** option.

I think right now it's down to steel "Worldwide Bearings" sold by Brock's vs. HD OEM vs. Timken (if Timken makes bearings to these specs)
