Help! Fake skf bearing or not
Help! Fake skf bearing or not
I recently bought a new front wheel bearing for my lexus is200 from http://www.auto-onderdelen24.nl
I bought it as a "skf wheel bearing"
It came in a sealed SKF brand box but once opened there was a nachi brand stamped in the bearing.
Is this a fake bearing or are skf and nachi cooperative?
I am a bit worried that i got some kind of fake imitation bearing.
On the bearing it says: Nachi japan and some numbers

Another thing is that the wheel bearing kit is from skf it includes a oil seal a bearing and a nut. The kit is put together by skf and they use this nachi bearing to complete the kit.
So i contacted a skf bearing distributor today. He told me i dont have to worry about nachi bearings. He said only good things about nachi. He also told that it is very common in automotive that brands like skf and nachi use eachothers bearings and put them in their own boxes. Each brand manufactors diffrent bearings and use eachothers bearings to keep the production costs lower.
