Front bearings from the dealer are over $200, Timkens closer to $150 and no-name bearings on eBay going for about $80. I'm leaning towards the Timkens @ Rock Auto, but I thought I'd post the question here to see what the members recommend.
Can anyone out there recommend a particular brand that will last longer than the 42K I got on my original bearings? |

I run into this problem when I seperated the hub while changing the front ujoints. I got lucky and put the hub back together and it's working fine. The timken made are USA made and the others were foreign is what I was told. Timken made were more expensive by $20-$30 bucks. Mine were priced at $160- $255 for the hub assembly.
