Default Sapphire Cosworth 4x4 TCA & Wheel Bearings

Just bought aload of parts from Burton Power and am not overly impressed with a few of them. I bought front and rear wheel bearings branded as 'burton power' and they seem really cheap and low quality, how do these hold up? and does anyone know who actually manufactures them?

The other thing is the new track control arms i bought, im replacing the rubber bushes with powerflex ones anyway but bought these new TCA from burton power (quinzon hazel QH) to have a new ball joint apposed to my genuine ford TCA's which are abit worn. But i carnt help but notice that the ball joint is considerably smaller than the genuine arms, how do these hold up as you cannot get the genuine ones anymore???

I hate cheap aftermarket parts so can anyone help me out???

as you say the ball joints on non genuine are indeed a lot smaller, theres no real answer other than change them more often or find some new old stock ones


as for the wheel bearings have a look on the outer race the manufactures stamp and the bearing code should be on there
