i was just wondering what brand you guys use for wheel bearings. i was looking at the moog, SKF, raybestos, and timken front wheel hub assemblies. i can't decide between which ones to get. not really worried about the price difference mostly worried about how long they will last because i don't want to replacing these any time soon after they are replaced. also i believe moog has been bought out by national and now is not made in the USA. i would really like to stick with parts made in the USA also. but out of the three which one is the best and made in the USA.

 

I've always had good luck with timkin. moog is now makin crappy stuff because of the switch

 

only timkin

 

i just talked to my dad and he said he has used timken before so i will probably go with them. also i am redoing my front brakes and i know the one wheel bearing is shot but the other is still pretty good. so should i just replace them both while i have the rotors and calipers off or should i just do the one? i got a feeling that since the one is shot the other will not be far behind.

 

F.A.G bearings.

 

I have bought several from a company off ebay called Detriotaxle and had good luck. My Jimmy has had them for 2 years and no probelm and my Dakota has them for 3 months. I paid $80 for the pair.

 

Watch moog they are using copy cat companies with SOME stuff. .

Timken if you want longevity, and just make sure it's not the china copy cat timken. .

 

Its really up to you if you wanna replace both. I say why fix something that isnt broke. I bought a ebay hub off ebay for my dakota they all said it wouldnt last 6 months had it on my truck for 20,000 miles did lots of off roading and when I sold my truck it was still tight as the day I got it. Not bad for 63.00

 

i am probably going to do both bearings. also do the Timken bearings come with new bolts and hardware or is it just the hub. another thing is has anybody found a website that is the cheapest for the Timken hub assembly. the cheapest i have found is rockauto.com at $101 a piece. i am going with the Timken ones because i want the bearing to last and also because i only use the best on my truck and the majority seems to think they are the best.

 

I doubt you are gonna find much cheaper. I think when I looked at napa they wanted 180 per. It prob doesnt come with new bolts. Check to see if you have 4 wheel abs or not.
