What Brand of Wheel Bearings Does the DeeMaxx Brake Kit DE53AR Come With?

Question:

What brand of wheel bearings does the DeeMaxx brake kit DE53AR come with?

Expert Reply:

Hi Christopher,

I called DeeMaxx to confirm what brand of bearings they use in their kits, and they informed me that they use industry standard bearings from overseas. They assured me that these bearings are still of the highest quality and that they have few if any issues with them. If you'd prefer to have bearings that were made in America, we do carry Timken bearings that you can buy separately and then switch the bearings/races/seals that come with the DeeMaxx brakes out. The Timken 25580 inner bearing is part # TMK44FR and the Timken 02475 outer bearing is part # TMK75FR.

Are you converting to disc brakes or replacing your current ones?
