Review on Timken 515030 Axle Bearing Assembly by Darryl Blumenthal

Revainrating 5 out of 5

OEM quality. Significantly cheaper than at the Ford dealer.

Works well. Timken is the brand you need. I did a lot of research on which brand to buy. Essentially, Timken supplies OEMs with rolling bearings and assemblies. Any other brand is the Chinese product with the lowest price. Timken is sometimes made overseas (Brazil and Mexico as far as I know) but I've NEVER been told in China. Sometimes they are made in the USA. My special hub assembly was made in good old USA! It's great as long as everything goes well. If it doesn't work I will update the review. I had a Timken that was a genuine Ford OEM build and I just changed it at 198,000 miles. Not bad! If you want OEM quality and not a shocking price on a Ford dealer decal, get this!

Pros
  • Axle bearings and oil seals
Cons
  • Defects present
