Personally, Rockauto is better. A1auto I’ve used before with lots of issues. Twice I ordered parts that came in the correct boxes with the part number on it, buttttt the wrong part in the box. I.E. ordered a 6 lug hub bearing assembly for my Silverado, when it came in box said 6 lug but had in the box 8 lug assuming for GM.

Just my .00002 cents

ive never used 1aauto but ive never heard anything good with orders from them. ive used rockauto for yrs now and old ever had one problem. ordered a new acdelco rear window wiper switch because mine was missing the switch face. first one came without the switch face. rockauto was very quick about replacing the switch.

I have gotten some miscellaneous parts from them with no issues but no mission critical parts. I would check who made the parts they have in the kit

I've had wrong parts from Rockauto as well. I had a cheap front hub sent instead of the rear bearing for an Explorer. I decided to keep the hub for the next one that goes. It was close to an equivalent price and Rockauto allows you to get credit for the difference if you decide to keep the part. I could have sent it back, that that is more hassle for me in my situation.

My front right wheel bearing has decide to make even more terrible noises, can’t hold off anymore. I seen this package deal. I also need to replace the upper control arm bushings. What do you guys think of this?

Personally, I would only ever buy Timken hubs and AC Delco or Energy Suspension bushings. If you want the whole loaded arm, I would go Moog.

I had two Timkin rear bearings fail in my Jeep Compass in six months. Don’t build em like they used to.

I've been wondering if the lower profile tires may be responsible for transmitting more shock to the wheels and bearings.

Ended up going with timken from rock auto for about 143 after shipping and tax. Nobody around here had them. Advance was trying to sell timken for the rwd’s for 400. I was able to borrow my brother in laws extra vehicle. A nice little scion toaster... i miss my Tahoe already.
