Hello, Is it unwise to use a L68149 domestic USA stamped bearing with an imported L68111 race? all new Are the bearings and races of the same brand matched up better? Thank you for any help,

Expert Reply:
The replacement parts for the TruRyde Bearing # L68149 and the TruRyde Race # L68111 use industry-standard numbers. While it is preferable to use matching parts made by the same company, as long as the numbers match up for the parts you want to use, there should be no problem. In this case, the 2 numbers do match up as being parts that are compatible.
I also recommend that you replace the bearings and races at the same time. We do not recommend using a new bearing with an old race because the new bearing will be forced to conform to the wear pattern that the old bearing imprinted on the old race.
I have provided links to videos demonstrating the removal, inspection, and reinstallation of trailers bearings and races and a demonstration of the repacking of trailer bearings.
