kissmyss Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 [TABLE=width: 100%] [TR] [TD=class: row1, bgcolor: #485165]I purchased the assembly from Rockauto Moog #513179 in May 2014 and it's bad already. I had one replaced by the dealer under warranty 4 years ago and it's still going strong. I'm getting the Moog part replaced under warranty, but for my future bearing needs I think I'll be using the dealer.[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [/TR] [/TABLE] Quote
Schurkey Posted June 11, 2015 Report Posted June 11, 2015 Where is the Moog part made? It's nearly impossible to buy a quality bearing any more. They're all imported crap. Quote

Did you tighten the axle nut to spec? Quote
kissmyss Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Posted June 11, 2015 Never had a problem with a moog or timken part. Did you tighten the axle nut to spec? Yes, factory service manual says 159 ft lbs and Moog technical support confirms this. I've always used Moog suspension parts, this is my first experience with they're bearings. Others have said they're bearings are crap, these are the recommendations, facctory, SKF and Timken. I just installed the replacement, I hope this one lasts longer. Quote
kissmyss Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Posted July 6, 2015 The ABS light came on and the reader indicated the right front bearing I replaced was the culprit. It indicated a problem with the ABS signal circuit. I disconnected the battery, inspected the harness and didn't find any issues. I reconnected the harness, the battery and started the vehicle. The ABS light was off and I cleared the code from the pcm history. I did however find grease seeping from the inner seal, I called Moog and was told to send it back for replace. Any ideas as to why this happened or is it that I just happened to get a defective bearing. Quote
rich_e777 Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 Parts quality is an issue these days, usually with the idiots in the shipping/receiving docks the parts go through to get to you from the manufacturer. If you ever get a chance to buy direct from the manufacturer, do it. Quote
kissmyss Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Posted July 6, 2015 The new one will be hear today, since rain is expected for the next 2 days I'll wait until the weekend to install. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk Quote
kissmyss Posted July 7, 2015 Author Report Posted July 7, 2015 New bearing looks a lot different than the one Rockauto sent before. Also they no longer have the Moog part in the automobile look up, you have to enter the part number to find it. I was told they are not selling as compatible with my vehicle anymore. Back to the bearing, the new one has an H after what may be a serial number. I took pics so the difference can be seen, your thoughts on the matter are welcomed. Quote
kissmyss Posted July 11, 2015 Author Report Posted July 11, 2015 I was sent another replacement part by mistake and it was the old generation. One of the problems when ordering online, I'm just glad I received the next gen during the first replacement. Quote
