I was just about to order a rear wheel bearing and was planning on going with the FAG brand but now I'm rethinking that.
If you're getting "fake" bearings from rockauto I would contact them with my concerns. Timken used to be a good brand, anyone have recent experiences with them? How about Centric bearings? |

Centric bearings are crap. If you're in the USA, just buy from FCPEuro. Canadians have big problems with border transit costs that don't apply to us. And as a bonus, if it ever fails, FCP will warrant it. Edit: FAG and SKF are the brands to look at. I believe that BMW is selling SKF currently for the rear. BMW uses FAG and SKF largely interchangeably - to the point where I've received one BMW box with FAG, and one with SKF in the past.

For some reason seems like Rockauto is the ONLY place that has been able to figure out shipping across the border or they're the only ones that care about Canadian customers, so they get my business. Nothing more infuriating to me than getting a $50 shipping quote for a $30 part |

I have several much more advanced photo editing applications. The issue is not resizing to pixel dimension. The issue is resizing to a target file size. I'm only going to try so many times to get into a specific maximum size. Since file size is arbitrary depending on how a JPEG compresses, it's a pain. Most forums are a lot less restrictive.

As I pointed out earlier, Rockauto also sells a real FAG ('I think', and for what that is worth) in a BCA box, the box actualy says "made in Germany" but the FAG bearing says made in Slovenia or Slovakia. I think I'm going to stick to SKF from now on though, maybe not quite as good as FAG was back in the day but seems to be still a top notch bearing and less of a crap shoot as to what you're getting.
