North America
Identify the axle, vehicle trim and OE cross reference. If quoting tires, ask the supplier to confirm which U.S. DOT or FMVSS requirements apply to the exact tire class and SKU.
BUYER INTAKE
Send your sourcing brief to Timken
Timken Sourcing Desk is an independent China procurement coordination service with no affiliation to the Timken manufacturer. Send a part reference and destination to start the review.
What to include for your market
All requests go to the same procurement desk. Tell us the destination country and the target sales market when they differ. For a 60-kit request serving three vehicle trims, give the quantity and OE cross reference for each trim so the ABS encoder ring can be checked per line.
Europe
Include the country of sale and applicable evidence requirements from your compliance team. For replacement wheels, send the pitch circle diameter (PCD), wheel offset (ET) and center bore.
Other destinations
Provide the named port, sales market, quantities and mixed-container loading needs. For hub assemblies, share the hub flange dimensions and ABS encoder ring details.
After intake, the desk can ask suppliers for clarification and sample options. The supplier confirms the MOQ and lead time for the exact configuration, and the buyer approves fitment before order release. Tell us whether you want an existing SKU or a custom revision quoted. An existing part is useful if the drawing matches, while a revised hub flange or sensor connection needs its own sample and approval path.
