I'm at work now but will post manuf & #'s off box when I get home PM. | | |
#26536 02/28/2003 4:35 PM | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 55 Member | | Member Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 55 | The inner front bearing is branded "MBS" and is # 909052R. The outer is also MBS & # 909001R. The seal is a "Federal Mogul" # 6064. The MBS says made in Japan, and the cones and cups are packaged together as a set. They fit great. Hope this helps - let us know if you find them at a local bearing house. | | |
