I'm neediing a hub assembly for my2001 pass. side(already pulled it and sealed bearing is bad). I've looked on ebay and they have some for the $130 range with a 1 yr warranty and them they have some Timekin brand for about $250. My local Oreilly Auto parts store said the cheaper ones are not even lasting a year. What are you guys experience? I only put about 10K a year on my truck. Just looking for some feedback before ordering one or picking one up. What brands are good?
thanks,
matthew
I'd recommend a name brand unit. Timken would be good, or BCA/National, which I believe is the OEM manufacturer for Ford. When it comes to bearing units, you get what you pay for. What good is a 1 yr warranty if it leaves you stranded on day 366?
Here is where I bought mine ..... I think I got the big kit because it was my BJ's going out AND my mileage was getting to the typical hub replacement mileage AND my axle seals were leaking AND tires bald AND shocks AND brakes AND..... $4k later .....
Make sure you buy a recognized name brand that is stated as Made in the USA. Otherwise you will wind up with that Made in China junk.

NorthernAutoParts.com had the cheapest timkin hubs for my truck. I've probably spent $1000 there and never once had a problem with them or the parts.
