Hot Rods American made seals and bearings.

Hello, I'm trying to find information on american-made seals and bearings to rebuild my Columbia rear end for my 1937 Ford. I was hoping someone on here would have a source for American made parts. Thanks in advance.

 

Hmmmmmm
I’ve took the part numbers and googled them for bearings.
This is the only way Ive found USA ones.

 

I just dis***embled my pinion, I don't know if there's very many options to source that double tapered timken bearing??

 

I would look for some old N.O.S. in a can.

 

Finding US-made bearings is a real ****shoot anymore. As noted above, NOS will be your best bet if any still exist. The last time I bought some axle bearings I went with Timkens because I was ***ured they were made here. What showed up was Japanese SKFs in a Timken box. At least they weren't Chinese...

 

Japanese bearings are high quality and so are western European...

 

If I can’t find NOS bearings I use koyo Japanese ones. They are high quality and have yet to have one go bad.

 

Country of manufacture is no guarantee of quality or lack thereof.
