Check the local ford house.. might be surprised at what prices are..


Two things that I have found that are usually cheaper if not the same as other parts stores at ford are oem wheel bearings that say timken on them and oem spicer u joints... and I always run spicer joints and timken bearings... although while at my buddies shop today we replaced a wheel bearing on a ford 500 and when I pulled the timken bearing out of the package, it said timken korea on it... not impressed...

MOOG does not make their bearings. Only thing they make in house are chassis/suspension parts.

SKF is the only other bearing manufacturer I will use for tapered roller bearings. BTW, unit hubs can be rebuilt, but you have to closely inspect the outer race as its actually the hub itself. There is no race to press in/out. In your case Joe, its toast.

Do you mind clarifying this? I thought they had made the switch from course thread 14x2.0 to fine thread 14x1.5 during the 2002 model year. After that everything was fine thread.

Well like stated my brother went cheap. So he called vatozone and said he needed a unit bearing and they said yup got one right here.... his is an 01.. what they didnt declare is the build dates so after 60 miles round trip and had everything back together and tried to put a lug nut on it wouldnt go.. so another 60 mile round trip to the store and this time I went and took the original stocker(that lasted 180k miles btw) with me and matched it up.

Yep, I can see that happening. Everyone who had a 99-04 needs to be careful especially around the 01/02 transition years.

My truck is the same way its a late 01. What was a win was that it have the plugs for the heated mirrors in it and I didn't have to change that over when I updated it. It also have everything for vacuum hubs except for the electronics for it.

When i had to replace the bearings in my boss's 06 we bought MOOG.

Got them in the shop opened the boxes up and they were 2 different manufacturers. The design of each was slightly different and each used different bearings, boss says put em in.
About 3 months later they were both smoked again. Got them warrantied for 2 more MOOG's this time we got one FOMOCO bearing in the MOOG box and another of the same pieces of crap we got the first time in the other. Put em in and 3 months later the off brand POS was shot again.
Warrantied again with a MOOG and got a FOMOCO bearing in the MOOG box. Both hubs have been fine for the past 9 months or so with no measurable play.
I was quite suprised to see the FOMOCO stamp on the hubs.

I've replaced quite a few unit bearings over the years, on my own rigs and others...

I can honestly say I have never installed a Timkin set...

Do they cost more... Yes...

Are they worth it??? I used to think not, but after installing one this weekend, without a doubt they ARE!

With the aftermarket ones, they require you to reuse your old studs (not wheel but the unit itself), and supply a new O-ring... The Timkin comes with all of this.

The pure quality of the unit is visually apparent...

BTW, I pushed this last one a little too far, I think that last 400 miles was on borrowed time. Right front had over an inch of movement top to bottom...:jawdrop:

Thanks to RiffRaff for the quality parts (and price).

I will only RUN Timken bearings. Caterpillar sure believes in them. And the Chevy crowd loves a Timken replacement.

Solid quality in my book hands down over many others. I've replaced several $40,000 Timken bearings in some heavy haul truck differentials. They are tested tried and true. It's a gut wrenching feeling installing one knowing if I don't properly heat the race sliding it down the axle shaft or freeze it just right putting it into its cage I'm screwed!

But yeah back to Timken. 2 thumbs up.

You must have some bad luck. I ran some chinese e bay bearings on my 99
F250 for 5 years. Truck was a plow truck and i had a 1200# plow on it. Bearings were tight as could be after 70k. Same thing with the 4 for $100 ball joints.
