In regards to the 2008-later application ...
Use any Quality Bearing Manufacturer equivalent to a 6205-2RS bearing ... (some manufacturers use their own numbering scheme)

You have a Motion Industries in Albuquerque, you could go get some Koyo 62052RSC3 ... they list them at $15.27 ... They also have many other Quality Brands eg. SKF, NSK, NTN, ***, Timken (Fafnir), etc

Btw, I'm leary of counterfeit bearings (yes, it's a real thing) ... You never really know on some of those Online sources



Additionally FWIW in reference to Water Intrusion, because of 2000-07 Bearing design, there is more resistance to water intrusion than the 2008-later (6205) bearings

Thanks for that. Do you like the koyo better than the timken? I just ask because I learned a lot from my best friends dad who was a machinist for Borg Warner and he loved timken bearings. OTOH a lot has probably changed in the last 40 years.

I would think Timken (brand) should be fine.

Btw, I include "(brand)" because when discussing bearings, some people will use "Timken" when they really mean Tapered Roller Bearings ... not in this case though, that would be for 99-earlier applications

OP~ If your brake pads are worn to 30-40% of new, then change them out. Use only OEM pads.
