Are All Balls or "Ebay Special" bearings crap

[3-wheelin]

Looking to change out my rear wheel and swingarm bearings. Oem bearings are expensive.

Is oem worth the price?

If anyone wants to share their experiences it would be appreciated.

all balls work pretty

I put a set of All-Balls swingarm bearings in my Quadsport 2 years ago. Got them through Rocky Mountain ATV.. BUT, I also installed a zerk so I can grease them periodically. That aside, they are working just fine for me....

i put some generic ebay bearings in my tri z a few years ago. just changed them again, but the were still o.k., just figured while i had it apart i'd put new ones in. went with all balls this time. so far so good, bit it's only been a few months.

All balls are fine. There ARE complete junk out there,If they're too cheap,leave em sit! I sell Quad boss and others,all great quality,,but back in the day,,I have had junk that broke installing them! True! That taught me!

My advise on any bearing you buy whether cheap or expensive, without grease their time is limited.
Pop one of the seals off and pack them, you will be surprised how little grease they come with.
If possible like another said, a grease zerk is worth its weight in gold, just remember to pop off the seals on the bearing on the inside so the grease can find its way in.

the BIGGEST reason for early bearing failure,, sideloading....... make sure the pipe between is the correct length!!! even cheap bearings last if properly installed

^^ X2! ALWAYS measure your spacer tube,they are usually wasted ,guaranteeing a bearing job way too soon in the near future.

All Ballz was the kit i put in my DX and they seem ok. I did repack the bearings before installing. One thing I have always done

I do the same thing Jeff.

All balls are ok, but carefully pop out the seals on axle and swinging arm bearings and pack them with grease!! they will last longer and keep more water out..

All Balls Bearings are top notch, probably the best aftermarket bearing availible!
