Its about that time for.me to change my wheels bearings (fronts) however I'm unsure which ones to go with...should I do OEM or Moog? Both are around the same price but is there any advantage or disadvantage with on or the other?

 

OEM seems like a good choice - they've lasted this long. Unless someone knows the source for them changed for the worse, I'd stick with them.

 

In to hear/learn the differences if any

 

My OEM wheel bearing last every 120K-140K

 

Also take a look into Timken bearings. Top notch and I think made in the USA. More $$ though . . .

 

Well I do know Moog has a 3 yr warranty just wonder if anyone has first hand experience with either as to what would be better

 

I think my point was similar to 4RETECH's - the OEM bearings aren't junk and will last. EVOlutionary's motorsport cred makes his input worth considering. From a quick search, the Timkens didn't appear to be that much more than what the dealer quoted me w/ their insider discount: http://www.1aauto.com/1A/wheel-beari...HF00189/557694

 

omg thats a really good price and actually cheaper then the moog units i was going to get (160) i appreciate the find and input fellas !!

 

Disclaimer: I know NOTHING about that vendor. Just did some quick Googling...

 

Yes buy Timken Bearings. LOL Sorry I am partial I work for the Timken Company.

 

$144 for the Timken is a good price. I just bought an OEM one from Fred Beans parts for $117 shipped.

 

Is Timken actually better than OEM, and if so, in what ways?

 

You could also look into Curt Brown's wheel bearings. Lil more pricey but performance wise may be worth it.

 

Lil? 144$ with hubs < 1600$ + hubs !!!

I love that this product is on the market and thanks to CB but hard to justify for my DD. These are for guys chasing 8 second passes.

 

How long did it take them to ship to you? I ordered one a couple days ago but the status still says processing.
