Looking for the absolute best wheel bearings/hubs

[Myotis1134]

There was a video posted on here some time back, with some dude comparing other wheel bearings to his company's, and his bearings really seemed to kick ass.

 

Been searching the posts, but can't seem to find it. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

 

I really want some bad ass wheel bearings!

TImken or OEM.

Most SKF bearings are also made by Timken

Maybe you mean this video?

 

 

They sure as hell don't make w-body bearings/hubs. But I second Timken or AC Delco. I've found a couple of good deals on OEM ones on ebay over the years, but you have to be real careful, read the descriptions carefully cause a lot of them are Chinese knock-off junk.

Can anyone comment on National brand bearings? I installed one on the regal not too long ago.

It's not the brand, its the manufacturing plant.

 

If National makes the bearings/hub in North America, they're probably perfectly serviceable. If National buys bearings/hubs from some generic Chinese manufacturer, and throws them into a National-branded box...they're probably junk.

 

Look on the box...if it says "Made In China", or "Made in Viet Nam", throw it back on the counter.

Andrei, I put National wheel bearings on the front of the 03 a few months ago and I havent had any issues... The box they came in did not say where they were made
