2012 Tahoe front wheel bearing brand

[TJBrown]

I have a 2012 Tahoe. The rt front wheel bearing is humming a lot and I’m going to change it. I looked on ROCK AUTO for a replacement and there are sooo many. Which ones are the better quality and hopefully made in the USA. I keep seeing not good things about Moog.

Timken or GM Genuine, only.

I run kryptonite wheel bearings in my trucks no issues and lifetime warranty! I think I read somewhere that their rebranded timkens but I could be wrong on that I order them through Rudy’s diesel in Nc
They’ve held up 100,000 miles with 24x14s on 35/15.50s with 2” wheel spacers

I thought they were possibly rebranded skf xtracker.. both had the ball bearings and taper bearings I believe..

I went with skf xtracker.. I wasn't totally convinced that its a better design than stock, mine seem to make a little noise on high speed turns from new..so its good to hear yours have held up!

I’ve had em on 2 about to be 3 trucks now and have multiple buddy’s who run it and are happy with the kryptonite stuff.
Plus Rudy’s diesel ships it to my house within a day so when I’m in a pinch their the quickest to order from

I went with the SKF X-Tracker Hybrid hubs and just had to replace them at just under 60k miles and 3 years on my Suburban. Luckily they have a 5 year 60k mile warranty that Rockauto honored. Not real happy about it though since all of my research said the corvette guys that road race love them. I guess a 3000 lb corvette isn't the same as a 6000 lb Burb... lol

They were pretty crunchy when I pulled them off.

If I have to do them again and they are out of warranty then I will definitely be going with Timken, which was my first instinct, but as usual I am always looking for something better or upgraded when replacing parts which is why I tried these.

Thanks for that review, I had exactly the same thoughts and reasons for trying them.. Going to start savin for some Timkens!

Either SKF or Timken. I’ve always used SKF. Both are very good and the key is to NOT assume they’re pre greased. I always grease em up regardless.

Are you 2 or 4WD?
