Review on Timken 510063 Wheel Bearing by Kipp Amundson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Somewhat questionable Toyota quality

Both front bearings replaced. The first bearing had no play after assembly, the second a little. I was a little surprised as it was a Koyo branded part. There's no way to get the bearing out without destroying it, so I left it and have to check it regularly to see if it gets any worse. much worse. The spindle nut in my case has to be hit with a chisel to cut it so it doesn't come loose as there is no cotter pin. If you don't make a notch, it will fall into the groove as you tighten and tighten the nut. After being tightened over the mark, they had no play. Bad Toyota design and now I suspect Sears tried to cheat me, forcing me to swap out the good bearings.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
