SKF are high quality parts that match the original quality, as are FAG and Bilstein; do not be tempted to buy some of the very cheap unbranded or Chinese parts that are available from well known auction sites.

SKF, the origins of Volvo and where Volvo was born, in fact was part of the same company until 1935. Hence the Volvo name, Latin ' I Roll', all because of a humble bearing.
Thought it might be of interest, but probably knew that already.
