Wheel bearings

[WVRigrat05]

Well I got my new tierods and end links on

My 5k mile pitman arm is shot.

Steering box shaft is ****ed.


And the driver side wheel bearing is ready to fall apart.

Where's the best place to get new wheel bearings for the price?

I was thinking dmax store but may be something different

1A Auto a vendor here has Timken for a good price....sometimes there is deals on shipping,sometimes it's free

I got them off amazon from true blue parts. 140$ is hard to beat for Timken hubs.

Damn, that is cheap. I'll check them out.

Any kind of warranty

 

[WVRigrat05]

That's not bad, if I pay 280 for one with a warranty and have to send it out I've still payed the same price.

 

[Awenta]

I think Timkens warranty is 3 years

The abs sensors are the same all the way from 01-10 aren't they?

Dmax store wants 139 but they charge 30 bucks for the 07-10

BCM change in the 2007.5 + to 2010 trucks, the hub is the same but not the ABS sensor pickup.

 

[WVRigrat05]

10-4, that would be the reason for the price diff.

NAPA has several different models for my 2006, the less inexpensive ones the splines are not machined in for the 2x4 models. I had a 2007 NBS gasser 2500HD 2x4 bought brand new, GM installed from the factory hubs with the splines machined in them so pricing is difficult to say the least. Does the hub come with or without ABS leads, some do some don't from what I have looked at locally and that makes price vary also.

Made a comment to the local dealer parts guy about 8 months ago about prices, I made sure others heard it. A younger parts guy looked at me and said come over here and he setup a cash account in my name. The prices I get from him are right at and most times less by about $10-15.00 with taxes than I could order online and have shipped to my home...

I would only use Timken or SKF hubs

Best idea is to google the part numbers to find the best prices.

Timkens off amazon for me as well. Right around $140 each with free shipping.

I put some timkens from Dmax store on my pig in '11 and they are still good even with all the oilfield roads and 37"s

I have always ran Timkens with good luck but have been hesitant to switch the SKF because i wasnt sure if they are any good. What makes you like them Tom?

Back when my favorite NAPA was around, I used to buy SKF only. When the store folded, I had to switch to Timken. I can say I've never had an issue with either make under normal use over the years. Not saying they last forever, but I rarely, if ever had to replace them again while owning the vehicle.
Couple months ago I had to replace a Timken on my daughter's GrandPrix b/c she curbed the car during the winter, causing the hub to fail prematurely.

We machine SKF bearings at work. I will say they have very tight tolerances and are very strict with them. We don't run bearings that small but I wouldn't hesitate to use SKF for our trucks.

Thanks guys, we use only that two at work on drilling rigs but that is big shit.

I'll find the best price for which ever and get the ball rolling.

Check rockauto.com as well, when I replaced one of mine a few years back I got Timken from them in the $130-140 price range.

I got SKF on mine, had DS OEM go out some 80k ago..

 

[WVRigrat05]

Im not sure why mine went, only has 78k on it, mostly highway. It went fast too, it was good last days off
