Timken 510063 Wheel Bearing Review

Firstly, although this bearing is sold as a Timkin it is actually a Koyo. I bought it to replace a bearing in my Camry. The bearing in the car was actually pretty good at 105,000 miles but I had to replace the axle so I figured why not get the bearing done while everything was being taken apart. To my surprise, the camp was also a koyo. For the money, you can't beat the quality and durability of these bearings.

This bearing turned out to be problematic. I swapped it out and the sound from the front is the same as before the swap. Others have repeated in the past that this did not solve the problem. Spent over $200 installing it. I wish I had read the reviews before ordering this. I have ordered another one from another seller on Revain. I hope the 2nd will be better than this one. Very disappointed with this item/seller. I have purchased Timken bearings before and have worked well with them for a long

Replaced the front wheel bearing on my 2010 Toyota Venza with this part. Much cheaper than any auto parts store and especially the dealer. As far as I know this is the same bearing used from the factory. This is Koyo under the Timken brand. (As far as I understand, they belong to the same company or at least work together). I've saved hundreds of dollars myself, but it takes good mechanical knowledge/skills as well as a good bench press to remove the old bearing and press in the new one. Now…

I haven't had any delivery problems that others have had when they arrived damaged. There was also the stamp "Made in Japan - KOYO". I am very proud that we have genuine Japanese parts. I'm sure they will stand the test of time. But I need to build myself a press out of a 2x12, threaded rod and an 8 ton bottle jack before I can install. Oh, by the way, this is a way to build a tiny belly for $60. The 2x12 frame bolts to a 1' x 1/2' threaded rod, then you install an 8 ton bottle jack upside down

I ordered two of these and received two Koyo forged bearings from Japan (OE supplier to many Toyotas). An OEM stock with a Toyota part number easily costs $80 and is likely to be the same. My 2014.5 Camry Hybrid had an NGK USA in the knuckle, but it may have been replaced by the previous owner, or it was the original bearing as made in Kentucky. Most auto parts stores will sell you Chinese-made bearings for the same price or more. Price. That's the real deal. This is of course subject to change

After installing the first the bearing had play until I tightened the axle nut and then after 500-1000km it got worse. Maybe it was bad from the start? Maybe I messed up on the install when he pulled to the side a bit and bent the 1/2" screw on the bearing installer tool. Or maybe the hub, which was a bit worn from the original bearing, really needed to be replaced. Anyway, I'll have to do it again. The second time I used a new Doorman hub and had no problems, and even before tightening the…

Replaced both front wheel bearings on a 2004 Toyota Sienna. Replacing them requires a lot of force, since most of the car's front suspensions have to be dismantled to get to the bearing. In this case, too, the old bearing must be pressed out of the hub body and the new bearing carefully pressed in. This is a double press operation that requires specific skill/experience. The fact is that the effort involved in replacing these parts far exceeds the cost of these parts. I am happy to report that…

Both front bearings replaced. The first bearing had no play after assembly, the second a little. I was a little surprised as it was a Koyo branded part. There's no way to get the bearing out without destroying it, so I left it and have to check it regularly to see if it gets any worse. much worse. The spindle nut in my case has to be hit with a chisel to cut it so it doesn't come loose as there is no cotter pin. If you don't make a notch, it will fall into the groove as you tighten and tighten…

Just installed two of these on the front of a 2011 Toyota Venza with 95,000 miles and 20" wheels. There was a groaning noise up front that started at about 25 mph and got really annoying at 55 mph. I thought the driver's side was broken so I replaced it first. Turns out I was wrong and it was on the passenger side. I now have fresh bearings on both sides for less than $75. An autopsy of the failed bearing revealed a fatigue fracture with the outer ring spalling. The grease in both bearings…
