How often do you find a good deal on a Timken Rear Bearing on eBay that is from a local seller?? Even paying sales tax its worth it for me to get this bearing here so I can have it this weekend. $128+9.00 tax, cant beat that deal!

I also saw (not on this listing) where Timken is now offering a lifetime warranty on their bearings. Anybody else seen this anywhere?

"Lifetime Warranty"

"Effective June 23, 2014: This item is backed by a manufacturer's Limited Lifetime Warranty. In the event this item should fail due to manufacturing defects during intended use, we will exchange the part free of charge (excludes shipping charges) for the original purchaser. Please keep your invoice for proof of this warranty."

That is on this listing for a pair for $279 which is also a helluva deal.

No I didnt check those Cruisin. What I was doing was trading off price for the local pick up option. There are cheaper sellers on the Bay as well but Mondays the fastest I can get it. NAPA has it here but its $179.

'Preciate ya lookin out, tho!

As a side bar, the guy at NAPA I dealt with said SK/Timkin is a NAPA affiliate. Either NAPA owns them or they own NAPA is what the guy was sayin. I didnt know that.

Unless something has changed in the last 2 years, Timken and Napa are not part of each other. Napa may have a contract with Timken to make Napa brand bearings.

See attached time line for Timken. Interesting how many ventures are going on in China for Timken now.

I see NAPA has two different grades. One for $109.00, and one for $194.00. I am not sure if I want to know what the difference in quality is.
