Review on πŸ”§ Enhance Wheel Performance with Timken 515020 Axle Bearing and Hub Assembly by Stephen Pendergrass

Revainrating 2 out of 5

One failed in the first 2 weeks - be careful with the warranty. It's only 30 DAYS!

I installed 2 of these bearings along with the front u-joint, seals and new mile marker brackets. I thought I heard a rumble as soon as I took it for a test drive on the driver's side. After a few days the rumble got louder and when I lifted the bike off the ground with no load I felt a dead zone and a bit of play. I was able to request a new one. But I'm very lucky because it's ONLY guaranteed for 30 DAYS when purchased through Revain. When you open the warranty information for an item on the Revain site, it is a link to some sort of software warranty. It has nothing to do with the wheel bearing. This has made me extremely suspicious of this company and I hope the other camp is ok. They weren't cheap and the official TIMKEN warranty is 1 year. When you visit the TIMKEN website, there is no mention that Revain is a certified seller. So I'm assuming this is either a fake or some sort of surplus or wholesale purchase without the blessing of TIMKEN. If you look for this part at Rockauto it has a 1 year warranty. Why is this seller not fulfilling the manufacturer's warranty?
