Thread: Best Wheel Bearing?

Rockauto Timken Part # 513179

I would stick with either Moog/timken/skf since they come with a 3 year warranty IIRC at least the Moogs do

Moogs the only one advance stocks so I would go with those especially since you can get for around $100 or so using a online coupon and warranty exchange would be a simple as stopping by the store with the defective bearing..

I've had Moogs for awhile now and they do just fine.. Some will argue that timken are the best but last I checked you'll have to order those and that means if you do have to warranty them out guess what you'll have more then a hour of downtime

Last I looked (ordered @ rock auto) the only one left offering 3 year warranty was Moog. Might be wrong, it's happened before (once or twice), but any of the three listed above would suffice.

Timken on Amazon is $97

You can always go cheap so everytime you replace the cheap wheel bearings you can rotate your tires.

I've gone through 3 SKF's in 4 years. I just replaced one with a Delco #513121 (5 year warranty). Only time will tell......

Saw Delco for $90ish on Amazon.

Moog, Timken, or Delco. Not always easy to find the latter without it being quite pricey.

precision auto has the same part numbers as timken and the same warranty.

and they're cheaper.

Sounds about right. I paid $125 Canuck Bucks.

Always get one or 2 claim Timken SKF etc... Are junk. I bought cheap once, replaced them 3 times in under a year until out of warranty,, Bought from ZZP. My mistake.

I've never replaced timken or Moog and I've had 4 Bonneville's in 10 years! Still own 2 of them. I'm sure it can happen but most people don't have problems

ive gone through 2 timkens under warranty. one was seizing up.

Yup. I've been in the automotive parts business for over 25 years; I know how things work.

I would get whatever your parts store offers with the best warranty.

I had the cost of a wheel bearing down to about $6/each with how many I warrantied.

MOOG cause it has a 3 year warranty vs the 1 year or no warranty by other brands

I've had great luck with skf. Just make sure if you buy a better brand you are actually getting that brand. I've had ****ty Chinese bearings come in a skf box when I ordered off of eBay. Same thing happened to my dad.

What's better, made in Korea? Or made in China?

The only ones that seem to last longer then 6 months reliably is OEM ac delco bearings. I have only had one moog bearing last longer then 6 months.... which is weird because it has lasted almost 3 years now.
