Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Enhanced Performance Axle Bearing and Hub Assembly by Timken - Model 512180 by Aaron Fowler

Revainrating 4 out of 5

How to determine if you have a good wheel bearing. US NTN

I bought 2 of these from Revain, 1 has US on the outside label. The bearing on the hub itself is US and NTN printed, I stuck 3 fingers in and tried cranking the bearing, very hard and very smooth, just what you want to feel in a new bearing. However, the outside label of the other box had no US writing printed on it, and the camp itself had no obvious label that I could see. Also, the bearing turned very easily, it felt like it was loose. So my advice is, if you don't see USA on the outside label, or USA and NTN aren't stamped on it, put your fingers in the bearing and try to turn it, if it turns really easily and is loose, politely ask request an exchange and write in your comments about the reason for the return that the product photo shows a bearing that says USA and NTN but you received an unbranded bearing and it feels loose like a bad bearing. Will the Nameless work well? maybe thousands of miles away (or maybe not) but there is another review here that says it went good and the other went bad I suspect from what I've explained here. Look at the photos I've attached, they're all photos of a good NTN camp, I've never photographed an unnamed universal camp.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
