AL Posted March 16, 2011 Report Posted March 16, 2011 I cant sleep so I hopped on Rockauto to order some new wheel bearings for my car since one has play and one has a bad ABS sensor... I noticed that the wheel bearings were not the same throughout the years... At least with the timken wheel bearings... It seems 2003-2007 have there own part numbers and 97-2000 have there own part numbers... I have never heard of this... Would I be better off getting one for the 03? Maybe its redesigned? 2003+ TIMKEN Part # 513179 More Information About this Part {#HA590093} Includes ABS Sensor; Ball Bearing; 4.527 in. Bolt Circle Diam; 5.721 in. Flange Diameter; 1.660 in.

virtuetovice Posted March 16, 2011 Report Posted March 16, 2011 It's worth a shot as long as Rockauto's return policy is decent, if things don't work out. Quote
AL Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Posted March 16, 2011 Not really as I dont want to dick with getting the wrong part as I want to be able to put them on Saturday Quote
slick Posted March 16, 2011 Report Posted March 16, 2011 Go to the parts store, compare. Come home, order. However, I'm willing to bet that the plugs are different. Quote
White93z34 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Posted March 16, 2011 ^x2 If they were 100% interchangeable they would just sell it as one part, cheaper then running 2 lines of the same part. Quote
AL Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Posted March 16, 2011 Yah, Ill just order stuff for a 97... Advance has NTP brand for 74 bucks a piece so I might just grab them... Rockauto cant beat that with shipping Quote
3pt1lumina Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 We have a Parts Plus (dont know if you have them in OH) and I always grab my Timkens there for $75 + tax. Advance ones (the cheap ones) I tried once on my dad's Malibu and the sensor failed in 7 months. Upgraded to the better one for like $15 more and it's been fine thus far, going on almost 2 years now.

AL Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Posted March 18, 2011 I can get 2 timkens on rockauto for 175 shipped... But we dont have parts plus... I think I am going to hold off as I am not sure what this truck is gonna run me for title fees and tax Quote
5speedz34 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Posted March 27, 2011 Wow, is it just me or has wheel bearing prices dropped a ton on second gen's from a few years ago? Quote
alec_b Posted March 27, 2011 Report Posted March 27, 2011 I've noticed that as well... even the good ones (timken, skf, national) are coming way down. And the cheap chinese ones on ebay are something like $38 bucks shipped! Of course they're garbage. Quote
