Review on πŸ”„ Omix-Ada 17104.83 Water Pump Bearing: Enhancing Durability and Efficiency by Jimmy Montalvo

Bad stock - no good

I must have a bad one. It was not good. As soon as I took it out of the box, I tried it and was immediately worried. It seemed to spin very easily and almost stop. I felt like there was no lubrication. But as an optimist, I went ahead and pushed it. And I've been doing it this way for years, i.e. correctly pressed in and the fan hub pressed in correctly. I installed it in a jeep and put a fan on it. That's when I realized I couldn't let it go. The fan had a lot of play, you could literally swing the blades back and forth instead of turning sideways. You didn't mean to handle it like that. So I removed the entire bracket from the jeep and took it to Brown Bearing in Spokane Wha. They're experts, and I'll let him know that. He laughed and said it wasn't good, it was shot. That's what the expert said. Luckily the camp was available. It was lube. It felt good and I installed it and it works fine. I see others are happy with theirs, so the mind must have been defective, or maybe a fake, a fake.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • No instructions
