Review on SKF GRW259 Bearing Angular 2 Shields by Dee Fadaifar

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Failed after 30,000 miles

This isn't the first Rodeo with a rear bearing so I went with the supposed quality brand SKF. When the order arrived I became suspicious and noticed the bearing didn't have the SKF mark. My first thought was that it was cheap nameless bearing, but the car broke down and I was short of time to fit the bearing and get back on the road. And so we drove 30,000 miles and the same bearing failed - big time. Not just a little noise, but complete destruction. I've done 4 of these on two conductors and so far have never had a problem. The bearing has been correctly pressed into the casting by the outer ring and not the inner ring, which could damage the bearing. Lesson learned? Yes, never believe yourself Revain (in this case the seller) that you are getting what is advertised. A quality wheel bearing will last over 200,000 miles and I consider SKF a quality bearing. I'm pretty sure what I got was a cheap, unmarked and unmarked bearing that was misrepresented when sold and therefore failed very very prematurely.

Pros
  • Available in a variety of styles, designs, sizes and materials
