Review on MOOG 515050 Wheel Bearing Assembly by Quinton King

Revainrating 1 out of 5

WARNING NO BCA NATIONAL PRODUCT MISLEADING

When you see "BCA NATIONAL 515050 AXLE AND HUB ASSEMBLY" and "sold on AMAZON.COM", what should a reasonable person expect from Revain? That's right, BCA NATIONAL Premium part #515050 from Revain! I didn't get that! I ordered 2 pcs. Of these, to my great surprise, I received 2 "Made in China" bushings, namely 2 bushings from 2 different Chinese brands with poor production quality. One hub is a Federated Auto Parts hub, part number PT515050, sold by FAPD of Staunton, Virginia (it says right on the box) and the other is an obscure SRT brand hub, part number SB515050. I posted pictures so you can see what you can get. Damned! I paid a premium price for BCA NATIONAL parts, not those generic Chinese branded jacks! Actually I paid good money for a good product but what I got was much less/different than this one. Don't fall for this scam deal! DO NOT BUY them, you will be torn apart. You can find such a versatile part for much less money than here! This is plain false advertising by Revain. If you sell BCA NATIONAL, broadcast BCA NATIONAL. Shame on you! You should avoid such situations by informing us customers before sending replacement products without our consent! Shame on Revane again! This is a waste of time and money! I've also written to Federal-Mogul to let them know what Revain is doing with their signature brand! I ordered this back in May 2012, the product advertised was a BCA National product and my order confirmation says "BCA National 515050". Now it's MOOG (both Federal-Mogul brands). To be honest if I had Moog I would love to camp too but what I got was way below BCA/MOOG level. In fact, one of them has already been removed with less than 22,500 miles, which is the only reason I came back today to edit my original review. Also, I could have sworn I posted photos of what I received when I originally reviewed. Just for comparison, the FORD originals lasted +/- 4 years / 50,000 miles, the post installed aftermarkets (BCA National) lasted +/- 4 years. / 45,000 miles and they sent me and only complained +/- 2 years / 22.5,000 miles. My experience with BCA Nationals led me to place an order for the same product back in 2012. The reason I installed what was sent to me and didn't send it back is because I live abroad (US Army retirees live in Panama) and it wasn't worth refunding the shipping costs. Despite this, they were both installed on the same day (June 2012), and the one on the passenger side was completely shot down. I'll look for new hubs, but I won't risk it anymore. Point. For those of you who ordered and received exactly what is listed here, congratulations! As for me, I still give them one star for my experience with this purchase and how they handled it. I will continue to shop elsewhere as I cannot risk running out of stock and the "quick fix" is sending me fake aftermarket parts again like they did the first time.
