Front wheel bearing

[frankjc]

Hi. I am in need of a front wheel bearing. Advance has the NTP brand for $44, and National for $72. Is the NTP a bad choice?

Not a bad choice. I prefer Timken, Torrington or SKF. $72 for one is pretty ridiculous.

Thanks, I'll grab that one then.

$26-60 depending on which one you want...

TIMKEN only. The rest of that stuff is junk IMO.

He has spoken.

*Haaaaaaaaaaa* (like the sounds of a choir)

Look at it this way. The originals were Timken with a Koyo hub. They last 100-150k miles.

Why mess with a good thing ? Especially when the pricing is really good on them, and they are made in USA.

I just need to get it done. It's not TOO loud right now, but I want it done.

That I didn't know, but I know Timken is a quality bearing supplier.

Done, took less than an hour. Old one fell apart in my hands.

Now do the back one in that time.

Good job! :wave:
