Review on Enhanced Performance Hub Assembly: Timken 518507 Axle Bearing by Jesus Gallagher

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Best product quality among axle bearings and seals

I specifically ordered Timken because of their reputation for quality. Bearing and assembly have been working great for over 6 months now. Somehow a wheel bolt broke off while driving. Not a big deal and it usually takes me about 15 minutes to swap it out. This device does not use a standard size bolt. I've tried every local parts supplier and couldn't find a replacement. Now I have to order the entire assembly and remove 1 bolt to use on mine. A $1.50 part ends up costing me over $60 and 2 days without a car while waiting for delivery. *** UPDATE *** Last desperate attempt. I tried NAPA. Found the perfect pair for the broken bolt. Part of NAPA No. 641-1621. 3 stars for the frustration, time and effort of finding a replacement. I am now responsible for returning the replacement bushing I ordered and luckily I didn't have to open the box.

Pros
  • Axle bearings and seals
Cons
  • Everything OK
