is valucraft actually valucrap?

 

also they have timken at autozone.

 

and there is a napa premium if its worth the money.

 

I just looked at my National bearings and they are already wobbly a little and they only have been on there since 2006 and maybe 10-30k, I can't remember exactly, but recently done. I expected them to last a good 50k easy, but noooooo.

 

I need opinions. thanks.

after doing a little searching I think the extra $20 for the timken would probably be wise.

 

also I heard to torque them properly at 250 ft/lbs, so I'll make sure to do that.

250ftlb???? Where did you get that spec??

 

They should be around 110... I will get you the actual spec of Mitchell later...

NAPA premium is more then likely a better brand like Timken or Federal-Mogul repackaged.

 

Timken is FTW, for the cost difference it plain out does not make sense to buy cheap suspension stuff because it will fail sooner then later

I just picked up the timken one from autozone.

 

$99 - made in the USA.

 

he said it was for sure way better than the valucraft too.

fuck valuecraft, i wont even buy their rotors. definitely timken.

 

axle nut is 184 ft-lbs.

 

bearing-to-strut tower bolts are 58-61 ft-lbs, somewhere in there. though i've had several snap before the wrench ever clicked @ that spec.

 

250 is way too high. trust me, i've looked these up in the service manual within the past 3 days.
