any good wheel bearing is one NOT purchased at autozone. i have purchased many wheel bearings from auto zone and with out fail, each one only lasted a wheek. I thought maybe i got a factory screw up but everything on my car was perfect and after about 5 i said eff it and went to advance auto parts and got a moog and i couldn't be happier.

Umm, if you insist on buying parts from places like Autozone., Advance Auto, Pep Boys or other similar places, the stuff they usually stock in the store for a lot of parts is the junk quality. If you want to buy TImken stuff from Autozone they show it on their website and you probably have to special order it.

I ordered my new Timken via Amazon from a Parts store in Romulus, MI
incl. taxes, customs and shipping over the pond, I ended up with ~ 140€ for 2 hubs.

And it seems to be proven, that my National hubs went bad cause of the long period of sitting around, so far I assume gummed up grease.

How long does your car sit around?
