where are you guys getting timken bearings for best price? have found them on Amazon for 110 which is better than my local napa.i know cheap isnt better and I prefer quality, but was just looking for feedback and i appreciate it all. old girl has 150,000 on it so would love to go another 150,000 without having do it.

I went with rock auto and the 5% coupon code. I think they were $104/ ea.

I've never heard anyone who installed a Timken hub who had it fail. @Scottydoggs the ones you warrantied- Moogs? Also, what did you torque the axle nut to?

they were on my regal, one seized up and was making the car pull left, another tossed a abs code and had play in it, once off the car the rear seal popped off and it was covered in rust.

definitely timkin. i went out of my way to get it lol and tq setting for my car is 118. aldata says 136 iirc, but thats now wrong. the hubs come with a note with the tq spec.

the rusty one. and there no real miles on it either. i do maybe 10 miles a day, and no miles all winter. come to think of it, my job at the time was literally a mile away.

anyone ever used 1A Auto wheel bearings? the reviews on their site look great! just wanted any feedback from you guys. my front left hub is junk jacked it up and hands at 12 and 6 can move wheel and tire probably 2 inches back and forth, if not more.

Wouldn't suggest you drive to the store in the truck to get the new wheel bearing.
Also check the ball joints on the suspension and check the front drive or half shaft cv joint boots for cracks and further check the halfshaft diff seal for leaks (and the fluid level). You are in this deep, fix it all in one go. Unless you have all the right tools, a jack, stands, some air pressure and air tools, a torque wrench, Front End work is dirty, knuckle bustin', miserable work to do in the driveway.
I've been a Master Mechanic for 30 years, please take some free advice. You are playing with steering and suspension and hurtling 3 tons of metal down the road while asking about aftermarket parts on a website. Perhaps get a quote from someone local and pay the money to get it inspected and fixed correctly. There is a lot of overlap in labor time for the services I mentioned.
Get piece of mind, spend your weekend grilling out, cutting the grass, sailing or just watching football. You also get a warranty so if the white box Chinese POS you are asking about fails, which they do, you don't have to do the job again, because you bought a part with a lifetime exchange warranty.

I went with the timken bearing and my mechanic who is GM certified and trained been wrenching for 25+ years did the work. he told me that other than brakes which I got the nnbs stuff waiting to go on it all looked great for a 15 year old SUV in the rust infested state of Iowa. I have never went the cheap route and when it comes to my safety or more importantly the safety of my 5 kids and wife I will never try to half ass or slide by. All I was doing was asking for feedback, opinions. I went with a quality and well recommended bearing. if I was worried just about saving money and being cheap I'd never asked and gotten the cheap 75 dollar for a set ones. thanks everyone for the input and suggestions. hopefully the timken goes another 15 years!
