Review on ๐Ÿ” Enhanced SEO: MOOG 515058 Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly by John Bourgeois

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect fit, no more bearing noise!

Perfect fit, no more bearing noise! It took about 3 hours for one side and about 2 hours for the other. I wasn't trying to break time records. There are no problems with the product at all. I've got about 3,000 miles on it at the moment. Revain had the best price I could find and I searched a few places. The first class delivery was also a definite plus. I would suggest you take a look at your brake dust cover before starting your project. Mine were VERY rusty and probably needed replacing. Unfortunately, I was well immersed in the project by Sunday afternoon before I figured it out. I'd happily buy new shields if I knew about them beforehand. They fit under the hub assembly so replacing them now would take a lot of work. I hope they last another 120,000 miles next time I change the hub :) At the same time I changed the axle nuts. I heard it wasn't necessary but figured why not. It was an extra $10 or $15, but it's new now. I also changed the O-ring. My old ones looked pretty rough so I'm glad I had the new ones. I coated the o-rings with grease to make everything slide easier. Make sure you have the right size nuts, especially for axle nuts. My old and new were different sizes. I think one was 35mm and the other 36mm but check your measurements to be sure. Also check the torque figures, some of them are really high. I had to borrow a torque wrench from my neighbor as mine didn't go high enough. It was quite a tall order for the average weekend builder, but I'm glad I took on it myself. I'm sure I saved a lot of money by bringing it to the store.

Pros
  • Bearings and seals
Cons
