Review on Enhanced Axle Bearing and Hub Assembly by Timken - Model 513084 by Hayden Hart

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not old school quality Timken

Something's wrong with them guys. I've been driving them for 3 months and the assembly bearing on the passenger side of the car is leaking grease. I'm not sure if this is normal, but the OEM bearings for my 1998 TJ have done 115,000 miles and I don't see it on them. I've switched back to OEM and will be looking for a better device. I'm also not sure if Moog is better. I'm rather disappointed. I don't mind spending a little more for high quality. You might get lucky (ie the driver's side is still ok, I swapped them on both sides at once for PM purposes), but who knows how long that will take. I hate doubting critical components, whatever they are. ***Update 12-1-18: After speaking to the Timken rep, they report it as normal and no longer use the orange dust cover. I've driven the new driver's side bearing along with the old passenger's side bearing for 12,000 miles with no problems. So far, so good.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Good but not great
