    Bought the SKF bearings but they are marked with koyo. Are they koyos but rebranded? Why is that?

    thanks.

    Probably only a handful of manufactures make the assembly and just slap it in their brand box. I bought a Timken rear wheel bearing assembly for my 2nd gen one time and it too had a Koyo bearing in it. Koyo is OEM. Was nice as it was $115 whereas the OEM assembly from Toyota was $500...

    Wow so it’s the same exact thing for less than half the price, right ?

    In a roundabout way, yes. Sure someone will disagree with me here :laugh:
