    Another place to search out better prices for bearings is industrial suppliers. This doesn't work for specialized car parts but is good for standard run of the mill bearings and the like. Oufits like Kaman Industrial and Grainger (Acklands-Grainger here in Canada) are the names I check first. I find internet prices can vary, but if you know what you are looking at you can get a decent price.



    I had to get an oddball bearing for a John Deere baler last summer--the dealer wanted 80$ but could have it in a day, Kaman wanted $45 but needed two weeks and I found a Chinese supplier for about $15 on the 'net, which would have been at least 3 weeks and I woulda had to buy more than one to replace the bad ones. I couldn't wait but the difference between the dealer and Kaman was the dealer/JD markup...both were US-made bearings.
