nsk makes good parts, if not a counterfeited and there is no lack of that. not now. in china. (world class winners...in this illegal practices)
id get a new Timken bearing.
each top bearing maker has a counterfeit page. (no exceptions,...)
showing all this horror,.
even illegally stamping it with top makers name. not theirs.
in some cases the box , even is illegal. but looks like kids made box, and painted it in grade school. looks cheap. and IS.
I agree, it's got to be junk. These people don't realize they put lives at risk with bogus parts…be they in airplanes, cars, or anything.
Hope my other bearing is ok, also NSK. The super loose one does seem like a customer return or it was altered or something? Hit on, or heated by somebody? it otherwise seems milled too wide inside that outer track…so it allows the balls to move a half mm to the side or other, or more.
I couldn't locate a Timken of this type, so I got a Nachi Japan, same as sold by Petroworks for their kits and a couple in my kit. (from VXB bearing, hope it's ok, they say they are an official supplier of Nachi Japan).
I really don't look forward to having to do this ever again. I only need another 20K miles, and by then I'm sure that something else will be the problem, if it starts up after all this time sitting. And I can remember what bolts go where.
