Are all R14-2RS bearings the same? If found various places selling them on the web with prices ranging from $2.50ea. to $8ea. Where do you get yours from if you don't mind my asking

i would try to find the Timken brand bearings if you can. they seem to be made to more precise tolerances.

KSK is a good brand also. I have found that with most parts, you get what you pay for. The people at the local bearing shop said that the bearings from Japan are better than the ones from China. Better steel, from what they said. They all have the same load rating of around 1,500lbs each. With two bearings in each perch, you could hold the car up with just one perch so the cheaper ones may work OK.
