I am about to replace the wheel bearings on the TR4. What is currently installed is Timken. My question is this should I only use Timken or does brand really matter? At the moment Victoria British cu

I've never identified a manufacturer of poor bearings, in fact you'll find many Timken bearings are made in obscure places these days so fit whatever you can get. The only time I ever had problems wi

It tells you if there is too much slack in the bearing and very little else. It's not a bad idea to pull, inspect and re-pack the bearings periodically. I had a bearing seize on a '67 Camaro I autocr

My TR6 does this too, although if I "sock the bearings tight" it's not as bad. But they only last a season or two at the "tighter spec". I would not run the bearings real tight for road racing... th
