[QUOTE="76GMC1500, post: 1154978, member: 73139"] No, OEM are not the best or most durable... but, they are durable enough. Honda buys their bearings from another manufacturer like IKO. The bearings they buy are usually the cheapest that will do the job, engineering 101. They use no special coatings or no special alloys because the bearings do not need them to survive for an acceptable amoutn of time. Their tolerances are only average. Ceramic bearings seem to be better for crank applications. For chassis applications, I have seen that Timken makes a whole line of bearings designed for service in an environment where abrasive contamination is an issue. There are better bearings out there, good luck cross referencing them and good luck finding a supplier. You can also buy kits from companies like Pivot Works, All Balls, and Boss. These bearings meet all of the requirements of OEM bearings (so long as you don't get the Chinese ones) and will perform the same. In some instances, they are even made by the same manufacturer.
