I'm about to install SE-255s in to my '08 96".
SE-24018-10 is box #. bearing itself is INA S168.
I've dizzied myself silly trying to sort thru the
posts here,,,,, I'm 95% sure this is the one I want to install.
If not, someone please stop me!
as the fog is clearing, these INA S168 are stamped made in USA as is the SE 24018-10 box they came in. I'm comparing the INA to images of Torrington/Koyo B168 they appear to be identical. These SE bearings have no indication they are Chinese and I can't taste any lead......damn!
I would like to believe Uncle Harley has learned a bit since the early TC meltdowns.
So looks like they're going in unless I can find any info supporting American Made INAs' implode.
