Best wheel hub assembly??

[D is for DENALI]

If there was a best option for wheel hub assemblies, which company would it be? Moog? Timken? Expensive oem?

Im going to change the hubs all around next summer when i get tires and do the steering, and would like to have an approximate cost..

Best hub assembly thread... go!!! Lol

Stay away from anything not made in the U.S. I know youve heard that before, but this time it really matters!

I prefer the moog because it comes with a 3 year warranty, but Timken is good as well

 

[HiHoeSilver]

You won't need a warrantee with a Timken bearing.

I was looking at differential rebuild kits, and some come with timken bearings...they are $85 more than koyo bearings.. are they that much better?

I don't mind 85 bucks for something that should last as long as I own it but it better be better!!! Lol

I bought El cheapo advance Auto hub assemblies for the Tahoe... 4 years and 50k miles on 35" tires and everything is fine...

My 2500HD got Timkens.

Timken. I bought a Chinese hub for one of my Pontiacs. Appeared to be good quality and worked fine but ABS sensor was no good from the start. Just replaced one on my truck and went with Timken. Works perfect. I reckon they make them for GM, it was less than AC Delco and ABS wiring was the same. Amazon Prime.

just put in a moog in my HHR, was fine, the cheap ones the sensors are junk and most will be doing it again

Timken without a doubt. You'll never replace it again.

Timken IS oem. Just whether or not its badged delco or Timken.

Koyo is a premium Japanese bearing. Timken bearings are sometimes outsourced (Poland, Australia). Both are high quality made to specific specifications with high quality steel. You can't really go wrong with either.
Timken hubs (like the SP500300) are way higher than many others listed on the web. Don't go too cheap.

No matter which brand front hub you choose, check the bearings for being too tight before installation. I have found this problem in several different brands, including Timken. Factory automated assembly tools are not always calibrated correctly.

A little stiffness is ok, but if the bearing "ratchets" or jerks as you turn it by hand, it is no good.

Goog or Timken, so long as it's not made in China or Japan.

This has little to do with buy American. Asian steel is generally softer than US, Canadian, or even Mexican.

If it says made in US, Canada, or Mexico, you should be good to go.

IMHO

Everywhere is softer than America...

I just changed out a SKF on a 1999 2 door Tahoe. It had 28K miles on it. It was so worn it came apart when i removed it. The roller bearings and part of the carrier fell on the floor.
