Review on 🏎️ High Performance Timken 516008 Wheel Bearing - Dependable Quality for Superior Vehicle Performance by Steve French

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Canceled after 60 miles

If I could give less than 1 star I would. I ordered Timken because of name and reputation. I had the bearing pressed in by a professional and everything was fine. Then I heard a metallic noise that I thought might be from the newly installed brakes, then I felt a stick and the rear of my car started shaking all over the street. Long story short, the bearing completely fell apart after 60 miles! I broke the axle shaft completely and will probably have to replace the steering knuckle. I might have deserved it if I bought cheap Chinese knockoffs, but not what I expected from Timken. Now I'm worried about the other side I made and not sure if I should replace it as well just to be safe. Definitely don't feel safe letting my family drive the car. Needless to say, I'm getting excited in a whole new world right now that I won't have transportation to work for the next few days.
