Designed as a direct OEM replacement or performance upgrade, this bearing delivers exceptional durability and precision fit.

King's XP Series bearings feature a proprietary tri-metal construction combining a steel backing, copper-lead or aluminum alloy intermediate layer, and an electroplated babbitt overlay.
