    Anyone used Dorman carrier bearing to replace worn out OEM bearing on Gen 1, prerunner. OEM so expensive. Or are Dorman just another Chinese made clone? Thanks

    Dorman is a euphemism for cheap chinese crap. IMO nothing that Dorman sells lasts more than a year or so, if that long.

    It's takes like 10 to equate to an OEM right? Labor to install is on the very low side so I'd just send the Dorman

    I’d go DANA or SKF, if I went aftermarket.

    SKF is made in Japan, OEM may be Chinese!
