Sometimes replacing parts might not be the best thing. Going through a pile of roller bearings I found a bunch that were original and measured with no wear. The face of the bearings were all good. They really were nothing that would fall apart anytime soon.

So a bunch of bearings in my car are original factory bearings that I could not find anything wrong.

I should also say I did find a bunch that were bad. I have even not bought NOS in the box Ford. Always pull away the paper and inspect. I have found many NOS in the box with rusty bearing faces. Little patches and such. Kind of disappointing.
