Review on πŸ”§ Enhanced Timken HA590259K Axle Bearing and Hub Assembly by William Mathis

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Defective bearing - not made in USA

Ordered two bearing/hub assemblies for my 2002 Explorer. Bearing made in Korea (marked "Korea"). I couldn't install any of them. Upon inspection of the bearing, the inner ring of the bearing was noticeably loose and wobbling in the housing (outer ring). My mechanic will not install because this bearing issue is causing the hub to move (wobble) resulting in a total bearing/hub failure. I have contacted Revain about a return. Revain has escalated the issue/inquiry to their supplier, Parts Giant Wholesale. I am waiting for an answer. I'm only ordering this bearing/hub assembly from Timken because I don't want the foreign made problems that others have reported. It seems that buying a Timken does not guarantee American manufacture or quality. Also, the supplier doesn't seem to inspect the parts before shipping them. I gave one star because the parts were delivered on time. Classification is subject to change pending intervention by Revain/Supplier.

Pros
  • Builds confidence
Cons
