I run Fuji FS4’s at Ohio Star Forge. We use Timken steel from Timken in Canton, Ohio to forge the inner race and then it gets sent down stream for machining. We don’t do any finishing to the raceway. The rings we turn are considered “green” rings. But in regards to Timken bearings, they are unbeatable in quality and reliability.

I installed it about 3 weeks ago, knock on wood no problems so far.

I bought kryptonite hubs for my 02 Sierra and they seem to be holding up well they are USA made and have a lifetime warranty

Yes you change the wheel bearing out but did you change everything else out that was worn out to keep the wheel bearing from going out quicker?

Thank you, Brother. I always stick to three brands for my old Volvo XC90: SKF, Toyo and Timken. Unfortunately I bought another Timken two weeks ago. I trusted Timken too much and installed the wheel bearing hub without even checking the country of origins. Today, I cleaned my garage and found out that Timken HA590462 Made in China. If had saw it Made in China before I installed, I would have returned it immediately. I had some experience with the parts Made in China before. Unfortunately, the US auto parts stores or online stores never clearly claim the country of origin of the products they carry. No wonder the price in Rock Auto is almost $100 cheaper than in FCP Europe. Since I have already installed, there will be too much efforts for me to uninstall, replace and reinstall. I learned a lesson in the hard way. Bro, always check the country of origin before you buy or install any parts. Fortunately, my set of brake pads Pagid Made in United Kingdom.

I have been looking at replacement wheel bearing/hub assemblies for a 99 Jeep Wrangler. There are 2 versions of the Moog, a standard "OE" grade and a heavy duty version. Both of those Moog parts are made in Korea. There is only 1 Timken part available, just an "OE" grade, and it is made in China. I was going to go with the Moog HD part because my only experience with Timkin was ordering a pinion seal for an F-150 from them to save a couple bucks over the Ford/Motorcraft part but I returned it instantly because compared to the Motorcraft seal the Timkin was obviously cheap garbage. But now your video has me second guessing Moog too. The actual Mopar OE hub assemblies cost 4 times as much as either the Moog or Timkins, but if you don't have to replace them every year it is more than worth the cost. I think I am going to go with true Mopar parts.

Timken is an interesting company with bearings because it really depends on the luck of the draw, they have outsourced Timkens made in China, Taiwan, South Korea, other countries. You can also get them made in USA or sometimes Canada too. I would go to a parts store and ask them to bring you a dozen or so and check each and every one and pick the USA or Canada made Timkens.

Your approach to finding original "Timken Hub Bearing Assemblies Made In The USA or Canada" is spot on! But not many folks would know to do this. I owned an Automotive Parts Store back in the 80's, and I was a witness to the fall of the ACDelco Brand and all of the fake/knock-off, Asian country produced parts that started showing up everywhere at that time. However, when you know what an original ACDelco box looks exactly like from back then and the true colors and numbering system that all ACDelco boxes had, it was easy to spot all the fake/knockoffs! I actually bought some of the fake/knockoff ACDelco stuff (from a major, automotive parts distributing company out of Tenn. at that time) to run test on personally (a lot of ignition stuff especially - but filters and pretty much anything that I knew I could sell), and I was actually shocked at how well the fake/knockoffs performed, even over time. Even gave some to my friends for their vehicles to let them run them and test their performance and life span for me as well. So for the type of customers that just couldn't afford the O.E.M. ACDelco stuff, they settled for the fake/knock-offs that I also carried, just so they could say they bought an ACDelco part, lol. Did I have some fail after a short time? Absolutely! But I just replaced them for FREE because I could buy them so cheaply, and the profit-margin on the fake/knockoffs was 10 times what an original ACDelco part was going to bring me in revenue. So it was a No-Brainer to carry the more popular part numbers in the fake/knockoffs for my CHEAP-O customers. :-)

And Beck/Arnley was the most expensive brand there was at the time, specifically made for foreign cars. But they just passed on the cost like everyone did/does. MOOG was a great brand back in the 80's. Not sure about it now, as things have surely changed since I was in the industry. TRW branded stuff went to the dogs at that time during the 80's as well.

Matt if you remove the anti lock sensor you can grease the bearings.... The manufacturer adds just enough grease to get by, as what happened to my 06 Chevy 2500. I learned that if you remove the sensor and add grease through the hole you can fill the hollow cavity with grease let's say Lucas Red & Tacky maybe 20 pumps from your grease gun and you may never have to replace them again......

However, I also bought their hub assembly and before I put them on I took a close look at them. They are made by TIMKEN right here in the USA. Apparently MOOG recognized the problem and moved to correct it (hopefully). I just don't understand why they haven't worked through their cheap Taiwan loaded control arms by now also.

Timken is one of the many OE part manufacturers. They build stuff for many vehicle brands. For ease of parts inventory management, the vehicle maker has their own "brand" (ACDelco, Mopar, FoMoCo, etc.) And the manufacturer of the parts will give them an exclusive part number and it will be boxed under that name. Pretty common. Most aluminum wheels are made by Alcoa, most fuel and ignition parts are made by Delphi or Bosch. Sensors and components are Delphi or Bosch, all of your interior parts are outsourced, and even structural and body components are outsourced. 90% of modern vehicle components are made by companies that are contracted by the Make (GM, Ford, FCA, etc.) And are trucked in to an OEM plant where they're assembled into a final product. Engine/transmission parts as well. Except for a few cases like GM's Allison, or FCAs Aisin transmissions where they are bought as complete units ready to install.

At my last job I had various opportunities to see these OEM facilities occasionally and I also visited places where old equipment was stored from OEM facilities. I also know a few people in the industry as well that were able to provide some insight as to how the process of building vehicles actually works.

Good info and presentation, wheel bearings are not a place to cheap out, too difficult a job.

I wonder about moog’s front end parts (ball joints, tie rod ends, ect)?

What's better ac delco or moog

@tracym427

Ismael Jimenez can’t answer that honestly, I think ppl would usually agree that moog is better, but lately I hear a lot of their stuff is cheap china too. Well I’ve heard that in the wheel hubs. I installed some 5 months ago so we will see. My son is about to install some moog lower ball joints so we will see on that too

Where I can buy timken bearings made in us online?

You can’t. Random draw for online unless you call them. Most are made in china now, even famous brand like sfk, timken and nsk are made in china now. Your lucky if you can get made in japan. The made in japan is a lot more superior than the made in usa. Even if its made in japan or usa it can still fail early! Mine was timken made in usa failed at 65k miles🤦🏾

Went with Timkens on my 2009 accord front and back hub assembly. It was a good choice, SKF would’ve been good too. AC delco tends to Rebox the better aftermarket manufacturers.

I always like OEM quality whichever one you choose. Let us know how it goes!

Just installed a Moog Wheel Bearing Hub on my 1997 Pontiac Sunfire Coupe with the 2.2 LN2 and the 3 Speed MD9. So far so good. I sent her a Lil to hard and threw the original 26 year old bearing.

A wheel bearing going bad in 1000 miles is more indicative of improper installation, than a defect in the bearing itself. If you preload the bearing too much... ANY bearing will fail in short order. Are you certain that proper preload was done on the bearing during installation?

It was all done to spec! I agree with you!

Many of the OE bearings used on GM's were Timken bearings. I've seen those bearings last 200k miles when they're kept clean and maintained. If they're not super expensive, why not go back to the OE bearings for replacements.

@stinkycheese804

1) Because they are super expensive, usually. 2) Because you can get some quality from the original manufacturer instead. 3) OEM aftermarket parts may not be the same thing installed at the factory, just supposed functional equivalent, sometimes called "service grade".

Acdelco and GM wheel hubs made by Timken?

Thanks bro 😁

Bought timken which are supposed to be better had wheel speed sensor issues in less than a year. I replaced it with moog and it’s been on over 5 years and no problems.

The casting on my new ACDelco water-pump was a complete wreck (voids and trapped sand.) I ordered a replacement and it was also very bad. It said made in Canada but that probably means assembled in Canada. The casting is probably from China.

Hey Bob, I bought it from Advance online. Not sure how their return or exchange policy is for online purchases since I haven't had any problems. But they didn't stock them in store for my vehicle or else I tend to prefer that method. The manager of a store said that I could buy it at their store and have it shipped there for pick up in the future. I have also gotten ACDelco parts from Rock Auto. I would go with a reputable company to ensure you are getting the real thing. The ones I bought have a limited lifetime warranty.

Im about to replace them on my wife's 2001 Dodge ram 1500 with a set of Timkens. I had replaced them a little over 50,000 miles ago with the cheap oreillys house brand and they're going bad again but that being said I guess that many miles isn't bad especially with how she drives 😬

when you look up a Timken wheel bearing hub assembly for a 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 SP500300, Amazon clearly states in the product description the country of origin is China.

Big nod to the boognish my friend!

I heard nothing about the relative prices of his selected parts. Sure, you can get Timken bearing products....for three or four times the price of the average bearing. I have ordered two Tucarest hub bearings for my 2010 Grand Caravan. I will report back here when I see how well they work. Also, many people beat bearings with a hammer to seat them when an interference fit is involved. Never do this! It leads to early bearing failure. Use the correct tool to press the bearing in.

Thanks for the comment. I agree Proper installation is certainly of the utmost importance when installing any part and wheel bearings very important. The ones that I used were both labeled as premium so the price difference was not substantial between the two, the quality was. Any info you have about your experience with what you ordered is great. Let us know!
