Thread: wheel bearings

Doubt it probably just some gimmick ZZP tried to sell you on to get you to believe that they are so much better then the parts store.

Personally I stick with the parts store ones that way when they go out (which they more then likely will) it's a easy drive and exchange type of deal.

I agree. Check out rockauto as well.

SKF, timken.

Zzp are junk. I bought 2 front from zzp. I got 2 others as were replacements. Couple months later I then I had to buy 2 more because they were out of warranty.

The best are OEM

The best aftermarket are Timken/SKF or anything with a 1 year warranty or more.

All the rest are junk. These are 30 60 or 90 day warranties.

I'm running the cheapest ones from rock auto. I have about 15-20k in them and they've been fine.

I wish there was a cheap good bearing out there but there isn't. Human nature makes us keep trying the $35 dollar bearing. I bet you won't have them at 30k.

I replaced all of mine with Moogs, haven't had any issues with them so far. Been on for maybe 5k miles.

I just needed to get them on so I could get the car aligned. I used cheap ones on my old 98 and it lasted about 40K and then I pulled it off and put it on my buddies gp se and he's still running on it about 20K later and it's still tight. I'll keep using cheap ones until i have a ton of money to burn or need one the same day.
