Timken bearings are NO better than OEM bearings anymore.. I have my OEM Dexter axle bearings in my 8 year old fifth wheel and see zero reason to spend money for Timkens...
Same here, I ran the OEM bearings in my previous fifth for nearly 13 years without a problem. Same with the present fifth wheel the OEM are going on 6 years .
As said in a previous post , I think its been several years since Timken has actually made their own bearings, assembled here is all. I believe at one point they were getting away with saying Made in the US , because of just the assembly, parts made overseas .
