I don't know what it is like in your neck of the woods, but here it is a nightmare trying to sift the wheat from the sand. Packaging is different from one supplier to another and part numbers do not add up to what is on the Timken web site. I tried to buy some Timken 4wd bearings and could not make sense of what I was buying. I gave up, went Japanese from a well known bearing supply house.
