BXX Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 is there a good place to order of the net? so they are better than bca/national? I think rockauto.com has them. Autozone also carries them as well. Yes, they are better than BCA/National... Timken bearings are the best period. Well worth the little extra cash over the BCA/Nationals.. BTW, Timken bearings are ALWAYS made in the US. Quote
CSI_MuNkY Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 If you can't get Timken (like me, couldn't find them here) SKF makes a bearing that is comparable... Jamie Quote

IRONDOG442 Posted May 7, 2008 Report Posted May 7, 2008 Raybestos makes excelent pads as far as the rotor I'd say Brembo or Baer Quote

per0781 Posted May 8, 2008 Report Posted May 8, 2008 2. what will happen if i never change my hub assembly? which now has the roaring sound. the car will explode Quote
lgeraldd1 Posted May 8, 2008 Author Report Posted May 8, 2008 lol, i mean could i lock up/seize up? Quote
Schurkey Posted May 8, 2008 Report Posted May 8, 2008 lol, i mean could i lock up/seize up? More likely the bearing would explode; and the wheel would fly off. Quote
intern8tion9l Posted May 8, 2008 Report Posted May 8, 2008 best bearings for me = cheapest thing i can possibly find Quote
Schurkey Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 best bearings for me = cheapest thing i can possibly find Thank you for supporting Communism. Just what this country needs. When our own economy is in the toilet, exporting bales of money to China is the best possible answer... Quote
intern8tion9l Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 wtf? wheel bearing = communism? lolz. i'm pretty sure wheel bearings aren't the answer to our crumbling economy Quote
Schurkey Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 wtf? wheel bearing = communism? lolz. i'm pretty sure wheel bearings aren't the answer to our crumbling economy No, CHEAP wheel bearings = Communism. And buying North American products--when available--IS one of the answers to our crumbling economy. Quote

pose_Z34 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Posted May 12, 2008 2. what will happen if i never change my hub assembly? which now has the roaring sound. the car will explode Actually the bad bearing will cause that wheel to wobble, then the wheel will fly off (breaking your CV shaft), then the car will explode!!! Seriously, change both front bearings while you're at it. Splurge and get Timkens, and remember that not having your front wheel fall off is PRICELESS!!!! Quote
