Are you referring to the pinion bearings? Ratech is a popular brand of rebuild kits for ring and pinion installations and are of good quality. They dont make the bearings actually.

Once again... as Pontiac Larry stated, RaTech is a company that sells kits for things like setting up rearends or replacing your axle bearings. If you buy a Ratech kit, it will not contain RaTech bearings. The bearings will be Timken, national or SKF.
