I need a new one on the drivers side... Might have to try this.

Don't do it. I got a couple off eBay a while back. And they went out 6 months later.

I could by 4 of these for the cost of one standard brand...

They have a 1 year warranty... There not hard to change. I might get one just to see.

also think about your safety, I just replaced a 2yr old bearing on the front of my daughters taurus that came from oreilly,,,, the hub fell off of the bearing assy before I got it out of the hub and had more than 1/2" of play. I could have easily lost the wheel while on the road. And this was for a taurus, not a truck.

Cheap Chinese junk.... Don't think I could bring myself to try that on my truck or anyone elses just from a safety standpoint as mentioned before.. Good luck if you do try them though.

 

[CSIPSD]

LOL... Some of you kill me. 95% of your stuff comes from China. Hell your trucks are about half built in Mexico...

Good lord.

 

[DEEZUZ]

lol.. let us know how it goes with the thousands of pounds you tow

 

[CSIPSD]

lol.. let us know how it goes with the thousands of pounds you tow

Sure will... Not sure how much weight I tow will effect the FRONT wheel bearing but ok.

 

[DEEZUZ]

meaning as in tons of weight hard to stop if an issue was ever to arise

I will bet that it is the same part Autozone sells. The only difference between aftermarket parts these days is what 7year old Chinese kid put the sticker on it.
Factory parts from Ford included.

Autozone also sells Timkin bearings for $182 and has a 3 year waranty, just remember they tend to go out at 2 years 11 months. BTW here is a Autozone coupon for 20% off on you whole transaction besides oil, coolant, and special order parts good for the 13th -15th of this month. I'll post this coupon in another thread for everyone to see.

bought the same one got 1 year 3 months and it went to **** save your money and buy better quality and then you wont have to do it all over again in a year

 

[BWCbuilt]

There is better for less out there...

I ran something similar for 3 years on my E with a 11' 1250# plow on it and never had a issue. When i did ball joints on that truck i bought the 4 for $125 ball joints from E bay. 5 years and 75k miles and they were still as tight as the day i installed them. Spend your money as you see fit. Even the overpriced Ford ones fail prematurely.

 

[Zmann]

has anyone ever seen the cutaway unit bearings at a Ford dealer ?

there is a reason Timkens last longer

I am on my OEM unit bearings 85k miles running an 8 inch lift and big tires

U can lube them and I bet that helps
