I have recently bought a few items via Ron Fitzpatrick Jeep Parts in the States. These Joes Motor pool items mostly seem pretty well made. The test of time will be the real test. I'd be very cautious with bearings, but India has come a long way and produce a lot of vehicles these days. I can only imagine they are producing bearings of reasonable quality now. However, I would still be going for a known brand in bearings.
Years ago, I did up a couple of jeep diffs. Nos bearings (Timken) and nos crownwheels and pinions. The pinion bearings were excessively tight, which is a problem when you have to dis assemble again to add or remove shims. (no gauges) War time upper and lower tolerances clashing I guess?

Re India quality. Remember that country has nuclear weapons. They are capable of producing stuff very, very precisely. Whether that level of quality is what is sold to us is another question. But remember they have a native manufacturing base that among other things includes multiple automotive companies.
Counterfeit might be more correct than Fake, but I can spell Fake in the search bar a lot better ![]() Matt |
