SKF vs Timken Bearings

[Alex98]

I am buying new bearings for my live axle swap. Simply put Timken or SKF and why, if you could please.

regardless of brand, look at the ABEC rating of the bearing. for example an A3 Timken would not be the same as an A5 SKF

this is stamped in the bearing, usually near the bearing size/number
