Bearing Chart for the GPW

There are many different manufacturers of bearings that you can choose from. Check with your local auto parts store and they will recommend a brand that is suitable. Most evey seller carries Timken bearings.

If you desire another manufacturer, they have a cross-over chart and can find the same bearing manufactured by a different company. Everyone has an opinion on this. Higher price does not always translate into better quality or reliability.

Many restorers are choosing to use sealed bearings in areas where oil pass through is a problem such as between the transmission and transfer case. Do your research and choose what is best for you, keeping in mind that when you change something, it sometimes causes problems elsewhere.
