Wheel Bearing Quality
Sunday, February 19, 2012 6:36 AM
Hello friends,

I'm looking to replace both my front wheel bearings relatively soon. I'm looking for advice as far as quality goes. I don't want to go cheap and pay the consequences for it later, nor do I want to overpay from one place for the same high quality I can get else where. Does anyone have any thoughts /feedback on what brand bearings I should get and where I should get them for a fair price?

I'm currenlty looking at these:1A Auto TIMKEN HUB ASSEMBLY But I have no clue as to whether or not these are any good.

Thanks in advance!

I trust Timken bearings, they've been around a long time and I've never seen any problems with them. I've got Timken bearings in the front wheel on my motorcycle and I care a lot more about the quality of those. That said, I don't have any experience with any brand of bearing for our particular cars yet.

Timken is spot on good parts.I have used them in my pu for years and bought the trk new.Zero issues with them,and bought new rears for my 85 cav from auto zone and yet to install,but soon enough.They were like 99.00 each for my rears and auto zone stocks timken bearings in store,or get them next day or later.Great brand,quality overall.

Knowing that timken has such good feedback makes me a lot more comfortable. I'll look into the warrenty and see if its comparable to the moogs. As of right now, the 1Aauto Timken seems to be the best deal when you factor in the cost of local sales tax and that my local Autozone tends to charge more than other stores in the area. Thanks for the input everyone!
