[DeTomaso] NPC recommendations for wheel bearing and hub replacement?

[Mike Drew]

Ah ha. I failed to note the NPC.

Go to the parts store, and have them pull their bearings.  Open the box and examine. Choose accordingly. :)

   Ah ha. I failed to note the NPC.

   Go to the parts store, and have them pull their bearings.  Open the box
   and examine. Choose accordingly. :)

   I have read several places that the SKF bearing for my application use
   to be made here, but is now made in Taiwan.  Also that if you order the
   Delco part, you get an SKF bearing made in Taiwan.  That is based on
   feedback for the part on Amazon.  It is possible that this is malicious
   feedback?
   I tried a Moog bearing a couple years ago and the sensor never worked
   properly.
   I replaced the Moog with MEVOTECH (best rating on rockauto) a couple
   years ago on the pass side, and so far so good, but it looks they are
   made in China, some poor reviews, and about the most expensive.

   SKF is made in USA. BR2 and BR6. At least the ones I have are USA.
   SKF rear bearings are USA also. What kind are you talking about?
