Review on πŸ”§ Cost-Effective Pre-Lubricated Performance XiKe Bearings - 17x40x12mm by Ricky Bedell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Need a better lube.

Bought to replace the bearings on the idler pulley and idler pulleys for my truck which only lasted a year. They seem like good bearings for the price so I figured they were cheap enough to give it a try. The only problem, and this is a very common problem with a lot of bearings, is the grease they put in, it's cheap grease, one already squeaks and it doesn't have 500 miles on it. However, since they seem to be pretty well made and I have some left over, I'm going to take the small seals off and re-lube them with full synthetic grease. No matter how well made the bearing, if it isn't filled with quality lubricant, it won't last long. I only gave this 3 stars because of the cheap lube, it looks like petroleum jelly, will not stand up to the ordeal the bearing is put through.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Will write later
