I recently purchased an upgraded brake and wheel package for my RV-10 from Matco. I was disappointed to find that the wheel bearings were not the Timken bearings specified in the installation instructions, but a no name Chinese brand.
I did reach out to George Happ at Matco to express my disappointment and was further disappointed in his response - which was to simply give me the Timken part number.
Has anyone had a similar experience and did you replace the no name Chinese bearings with Timken, Koyo or some other reputable brand? I know some of the Timken bearings are made in China but these were clearly not Timken.
