F.K. Bearings came onto the scene quietly over 30 years ago. They did not make a huge splash, but quickly won the customers over with fair pricing, and plenty of inventory. While the industrial market struggled to get product from the old stand-bys, the racing market embraced a supplier that would maintain inventory throughout the limited season. Recently, to further assure timely delivery, F.K. Bearing set up two regional warehouses. Filled to the brim with inventory, these warehouses can offer localized service for emergency orders. Over the years the F.K. Bearings product line has grown to encompass many different industries. From the Local Dirt racer to NASCAR, from mowers to care for your lawn, to fitness equipment to groom your body, you'll find F.K. Rod Ends! In your hands is our latest offering in an evolving program designed to supply rod end products to users everywhere!
