🔧 Superior Timken HA597449 Axle Bearing and Hub Assembly - Ultimate Performance and Durability! Review

Bought two, got an expected hub and a cheap fake from a completely different manufacturer. have already been used. Look elsewhere for wheel hubs.

Same part number I sell for a lot more at work even with employee discounts. Works perfectly. I picked up a jeep on 35 inch tires with a hard dump and get about 75k. The same jeep was 6 feet in the air, had 14 inches of travel, and front and rear air attacks. Great for jeep speed.

ordered two for my 02 wrangler tj with dana30 front axle. both came brand new. They are of exceptional quality compared to the originals. great and feel very good. I use spacers and 33" tires and they ride great so far.

I sold Timken bearings when I worked in the auto industry in the 70's and 80's. The quality of their bearings was very good and I don't think the quality has changed. I know they were probably made in China now, but what not. I haven't installed it yet, but I'll check again to see if I'm having trouble with it.

Ideal for 2005 Jeep TJ Rubicon. If you can turn a wrench, you can do it at home. It took less than 30 minutes for each side. A NOTICE. I had protrusions on one side that came off a bit after installation. I'm pretty sure I tightened it and can only attribute it to leftover grease from the factory combined with some off-road driving. No harm, no foul - check those cleats in a few miles folks!

I installed them on a 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ about 3 weeks ago and then immediately drove about 160 miles. So far, so good. Some reviews indicate a quality control issue, but both sockets I received were brand new and well packaged. I've done a lot of research on which option is the best and Timken seems to be well tried and tested. I'll update if anything changes, but that's not a problem for now.

After seeing mixed reviews I was hoping this purchase would work. Unfortunately one of the bearings was wiggling right out of the box (was therefore unusable as it would be illegal on the road), the other is on but making suspicious noises. I have other spare bearings and will be binning the second one soon. I live in New Zealand so returns are not possible.

I don't know what to say. This is a wheel bearing/hub assembly. Good quality. Fit is good. I installed them on my jeep about a month ago and drive this jeep at least 60 miles a day. No problem. As a professional auto mechanic, I have trusted Timken bearings for me, my family and my customers for years. Buy them with confidence. 4 stars because it's a wheel bearing. This is not surprising. It just does what it's supposed to and I've only driven 2000 km with it so far.
