Quality parts at a reasonable price
This is the second set of these Yukon Rear Axle Bearing and Seal Kit I've bought to date. I had no issues with the previous set on my Chrysler 8.25", so when it came time to rebuild another 8.25", these were an easy sell. Quality parts, shipped quickly and installed without a fuss. Do yourself a favor and throw the bearings in the freezer for a few days prior to install.

Light weight and thin race
Seem to be holding up fine a few weeks in. Not the same as you get from the auto parts store. These are lighter and have a thin race.

Yukon Bearing & Seal
Picked up these bearing & seals for my 85 K5 Blazer CUCV with a GM 10 bolt rear end. I used the 2.53” which are the correct size. Seem like a quality product.Remember you need to buy 2 bearings 😎

BEWARE - Failed after one day
I had purchased 2 of these bearings along with a Ford 8.8 bearing rebuild kit from Yukon Axle. The bearings in the rebuild kit Timken brand bearings. I purchased these wheel/axle bearings from Yukon 6 months ago thinking that they were also Timkens due to all other Yukon products I purchased were Timken bearings. I finally got around to my rebuild.1 day after full rebuild, 1 of the 2 wheel bearings started to make "wub wub" noises and progressively got louder. After disassembly, the bearing completely ate up the wheel axle surface leaving metal particles everywhere. Now I am having to disassemble everything and completely clean everything. Now to save my axles, I had purchased National repair bearings RP6408 (3 year warranty). These bearings don't have a warranty listed, now out $150 in new bearings and replacement gear oil, which is 3 times more expensive than these cheap bearings.Bearing rollers don't have the proper clearances that ate up drive shaft.

Theyre legit!
They were the right size for my 02 Ranger FX4 with the 8.8 axle. No muss or fuss. Ive never heard of Koyo bearing but they were the same part number as the Torrington bearings that came out. I looked into Koyo and they apparently are owned buy Torrington... or the other way around? Supposedly they also own Timken. Soooo basically they seem like a pretty legit bearing. Torringtons are the stock bearing from Ford. BUT! I also found out that there are fake Koyo bearings being sold online for cheaper... is this the case? IDK. Time will tell but they seem to check out. Ill update my review and change my rating, if I have problems in the future.(1year update)Theyre still kickin and chuggin along. Loads of 4 wheeling and a few long trips to National parks. No leaks from my axle shafts and the bearings seem to be in good shape!
