Review on πŸš€ Enhance Vehicle Performance with the Timken 510050 Wheel Bearing by Billy Reeves

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor quality - probably counterfeit

Allan Reid states in his review that he doesn't believe these bearings are real Timkens. Although I have never used any other Timken bearings, the bearings I have received are not of the quality associated with Timken. When I received these bearings they seemed pretty stiff. I really couldn't move them. I installed them and they weren't very smooth. To be honest I was very worried. I made a really stupid mistake and installed my dust covers upside down and had to disassemble the entire hub assembly to fix it. This process damages the bearings. As a result, I had to replace them. I chose the Nationals which were at the local auto parts store. The Nationals are known for being very good, but not as good as the Timkens. These bearings from National felt absolutely great. Much better than the "Timkens" I bought. It should not be. I think my mistake saved me a lot of headaches later on and I certainly feel a lot more comfortable NOT using these bearings. I don't recommend buying them. I don't think they are real. I'm pretty sure you pay more for a product that fails instantly.
