tuko Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 What does "PR2" stand for with Timken bearings? I'm thinking "Product Reject 2" ...be passed on to the unsuspecting consumer. No real idea to be honest, but I see several sites carry this as a part of the selection of Timken bearings. Todd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyEvans Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Timkin are some of the best bearings so no need to worry about quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmic Farmer Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Possibly refers to the 2 rubber seals? http://www.bearingboys.co.uk/Measuring_Bearings-15-a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuko Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 The bearings that I was searching for were RTC 3095, journal bearings for the diff. "PR2" has me stumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 As already mentioned above, as long as its timken i wouldnt worry about it. Never heard a bad word about them. Not a company that suffers poor quality control.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailysleaze Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 If it's supplied by Allmakes, then the PR2 means it's from their "Premium" range and in their view is therefore is less likely to be carp. Example here: http://www.lrdirect.com/STC4382-Hub-Bearing-Ser3-Late-90-110Rrds/?sfi=stc4382 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Example here: http://www.lrdirect....ds/?sfi=stc4382 That was one of the sites I saw the reference of PR2. I realize and use quality bearings from Timken, but wasn't sure what the PR2 stood for as it was the first time I saw it. Maybe the above reply has answered it. Thanks.

dailysleaze Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I think with PR2 you know at least what brand the part is, whereas their cheaper stuff could be from anywhere. In this case at least knowing its Timken means it should be good quality. More on their site: http://www.allmakes4x4.com/pr2 I've found the cheapest place for Timken bearings is shop4autoparts at £9: http://www.shop4autoparts.net/Defender/Axle/Drive-Shafts,Hubs-&-Swivels/stc4382g-bearing-hub-timken.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
