When I bought my 1968 442 it had a SSBC front disk brake conversion kit installed,nothing fancy but a single piston caliper set up. I am prepping the car for the new motor and transmission and so today I contacted SSBC about upgrading to bigger better disks and 4 piston calipers.

I bought the bigger/better calipers and disk's but need some new wheel bearing's and seal's. What brand's do you guys recommend? I don't mind paying a little more for better/american made. I was going to go to napa and see what they had.

Any tips or info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

 

I use Timken, however I think some of their stuff is import now. It will say on the box country of origin.

 

Just don't buy China bearings. There is nothing wrong with bearings from USA. Japan or Taiwan, all have good steel and are proud of what they make.

 

USA ++ TIMKEN ++ Bearings is the only way to go....
You don't need warpage -- and the China bearings have "wobble" right
from the get - go.....
or of course, N.O.S. ++ DELCO - NEW DEPARTURE HYATT ++ !!!!!!!!!!!!
but you just won't find them anymore.................

I keep the ++ TIMKEN ++ USA ++ Bearings in stock, all the time, and
charge $ 14 for the Set # 6 Inners
and $ 12 for the Set # 2 Outers
if you need.......Craig -- 516 - 485 - 1935... New York....
