351mach11647545510 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 What brand do you go with for wheel bearings? I refuse to put the cheap ones on because I don't want to do this every year. Figured on timken but when I called other parts stores to compare pricing, they all carry different brands. Had option of timken, moog, precision and sks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Moog is good or hubbearing.com for Timkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

351mach11647545510 Posted October 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I really wish I had ordered one from rockauto ahead of time. $108+ $8 shipping vs auto zone's $191 for the timken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 See if they will price match or put it under a commercial account. Or go to oreillys in Westerville and get lee to hook u up. To answer your question.. Timken and nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
351mach11647545510 Posted October 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Tried seeing about price match, but no go against rock auto. Then again that was over the phone. Might have better luck in person considering how much I'm in there. What is the discount up there at O'Reilly's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felixdarican Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 timken is the only brand i would trust. where i work at the next best brand after timken is GMB, followed by our house brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig71188 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) Timken, SKF, FAG, are all good as are MOOG and Precision (but I have heard Precision has slipped a bit in quality). Beware of "house brands" - measure the bearing and hub diameters carefully. The popular way to cheap out on these is to use a smaller bearing and make the hub and/or housing castings thicker. And as to AC Delco - look closely, they manufacture nothing, it's almost all aftermarket suppliers Edited October 22, 2012 by craig71188 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Precision and Moog are the same bearing, all owned by federal-mogul. Federal-mogul bought out the National line and rebranded it with their bearing and a better warranty. I'd feel confident with the Moog or the Timken, it all comes down to personal preference. NASCAR uses moog chassis components - some are no different than what you can buy at the auto parts store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FourString Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Depending on the vehicle, I either use OEM or Timken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
