Does any one have any comparisons or reviews on 1aAuto's front wheel bearing and hub assembly?

They offer the pair for $85.95 and free ground shipping. This seems like a deal too good to be true

you can get them for under $40 from rock auto, they even have a Moog one for $88 which im sure is better than whatever brand that site is selling

Thanks E-Rok, have you used any of them?

E-Rok

If you have tires bigger than stock, get TIMKEN Hubs/bearings. Got mine at amazon.com best price and free shipping. They are a bit more expensive but are the best.

thanks yeah thats a good point, although ours are stock tire size. Hey did you actually notice anything from that chip

Rather than start a new thread I revived this older one.

So I have replaced the unit bearings on both sides of my Jeep. The first side, PS, I put in a Timken, the 2nd I put in the cheaper brand Advance auto sells, a year after the Timken. I only run a 30" tire and just started running a 1" offset rim 3 months ago.

Well I put the Timken in 4 years ago, ~60k, and its currently junk. My question is I plan on purchasing from rock auto http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,ca...,parttype,1636 I trying to decide if the Moog is worth the extra 5$ over the Timken or better yet if the SKF brand is worth the 15$ more than the Moog. The SKF brand says it should last 100,000 mi, but I know whatever.

Tell me what you guys think. I'm currently thinking Timken b/c I know, hopefully, I should get 4 years, then I was thought why not spend the 5$ and go for the Moog. I do know I don't want to F' w/it again.

Moog used to be one of the top quality brands out there, but they seemed to have lost their way in recent years. I blame the Global economy for the drop in quality from brands that used to be the benchmark. I have had no issues with SKF or Timken bearings in the past. The cheap hub assemblies sound like a good deal, but I've found taking the cheap route will end up costing more in the long run.

We also carry the Timken bearings as well as our economy line. All of our parts also include free shipping in the lower 48 states.
