Anyone know the quality / brand of the MSA wheel bearings? Their price seems reasonable comparatively. Figured I'd do these too since I'm doing struts and bushings.

I don't know what brand MSA is selling, but RockAuto had Timken bearings. That's what I put in mine per the recommendation of a friend who has been working on Z cars for 30+ years.

Sorry for the slow reply. While all brands are always subject to availability, the wheel bearings we've had for a good while now are Koyo (Japan). They have been excellent quality so far. If you have any further questions you can always ask James@thezstore directly for a faster response ?

Thank you!

Did a quick search and this came up... Looks like Koyo and Timken may be same same nowadays.

After talking to James at MSA I went with their stuff. The rear bearings are Nissan OEM the fronts are Koyo.
