Review on 🚗 Reliable Performance: Timken 517008 Tapered Wheel Bearing - Enhance Vehicle Stability and Safety by Larry Cothran

This is an upgrade of the Subaru Garbage Roller OEM bearing, after hundreds of thousands 30-40k miles failed they were swapped out for a tapered bearing. Mechanics and engineers used to get together and the result was the best cars the world has ever seen. Now the engineers and accountants are friends, and the result is high-quality one-offs at the dollar store with crap parts. Lubricate the bearing, it will overheat, leave it alone and install it. Bearing made by Koyo. If you buy it from National or Timken, it's Koyo (because Koyo makes the best bearings for that application). This job takes 60-75 minutes from start to finish - if you remove the spindle and do it on a workbench with a spindle bearing press. "It's good pay for a professional mechanic, it's hard work. Unless you're a pro, this will be average. 4-6 hours.
