Review on 🏎️ Enhanced Performance Timken 510073 Wheel Bearing: Upgrade Your Vehicle's Efficiency by Phillip Hoover

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Half retail price. It still works four years later.

Timken is a manufacturer of Honda/Acura bearings. I bought one from Del Ray Acura and this one from Amazon in 2015 and both bearings were identical but I paid twice as much from the dealer. I'm writing this review now in 2019 because it creaks and probably needs to be replaced. Still holding up four years later. I will buy again. It hurts so much to change it, but I'm saving a lot of money. IMPORTANT - Be very careful when installing, you can easily damage the bearing and give the impression that you have a defective one. DO NOT hammer in a new bearing or hub. use the press When pressing a new bearing into the steering knuckle, press the outer ring firmly (if necessary, use the old bearing). When pressing the wheel hub onto the bearing/knuckle, hold the bearing by the inner race, not the outer race.

Pros
  • Provides long-term reliability
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
