What the difference in parts????

[ZR]

Some of the ultra cheapies come with a long warranty, still not worth risking your safety to something you know is of inferior quality.
Traditionally, SKF is good stuff. Did the box have their name on it or the bearing as well? Yes some are playing the rebox game.

It came in a proper box

Is the bearing marked with their brand / part number?

[95GT_VERT]

the bearing said

koyo DACF11100

Both side cause both bearings were bad

Koyo bearing in an SKF box, my point as to the games these guys are playing.

[ZR]

STill an ok bearing though.

[95GT_VERT]

Both bearings were stamped identical and both came in SKF boxes

[95GT_VERT]

Should i call SKF and ask WTF? im bored at work so.

Chances are it's a part number where co A makes it but both sell under their own brand, very common these days.
At one time, bulk of the diff bearings that came in Ford boxes were Timken, now you see pretty much all of with Koyo in the box.

So i called SKF in Toronto and they told me that Koyo is a direct Competitor. I called the NAPA corporate office and they told me that they can not help me, and that i need to contact the store that I purchased the parts from.
Spoke to the Napa store and they said it is 100% normal and happens all the time. So basically there is nothing i can do except request new parts but im not tearing my car apart again. Lesson of the day, I will forever CHECK my parts before i leave the stores.

The store said that i wont have an issue bringing Koyo bearings back with a reciept with the SKF number on it so since they pissed me off, I may just keep the 2 wheel bearings in the boxes and maybe next year just randomly take them back and get new ones for free.
