Timken or SKF are as good as they get? A frame shop told me few years the name of a good one made in Japan but can't remember the name.This is the first time for me to be ordering bearings and seals for our TT. Do I just need the part number off our axles and go onto the bearing and/or the Alko's website? Do they come as a kit with nut, cotter pin etc?A bit unclear on the info. on our axle sticker. Says axles are 4400 lbs and are T52D-H9. Alko's website says T52 axles are rated 5K lbs?

Set-up and maintenance is far away more important than brand.

Many in fact, probably do not get even yearly inspections.Please do tell us how they are junk?BTW-do you shop at Walmart-Have a smart phone? How about a flat screen T.V.? They are all Chinese junk. Must have the same performance as you claim the bearings have.
