If you decide to return the Moog and go with Timkens, buy it from 1AAUTO. They bump the warranty to a lifetime warranty on the bearing/hub assembly, vs. standard 1-3yrs from anywhere else.

My experience does not specifically apply, but I prefer Timken over Moog. I have had Moog U joints not fit.

 

Timken for sure Moog is way overpriced.

 

So i went with TIMKEN and bought from a non sponsor cause i was in a bind and short on cash. Got em for 218 ea plus shipping and the studs showed up with them, which was rad.

If i had the money n time next go around id get em from 1aauto due to their lifetime warranty option. Timken warranties for 3 yr IIRC.

 

Where was your Timken made?

Thanks for clearing this up for me I was wondering the same thing. I'll be going with the Timkens.

 

Amazon is not a Timken authorized retailer and they tend to have shady sources for some parts

so check your parts carefully for the ever so common counterfeit

 

I purchased Timkens from Rock auto last year- the box has a halogram on it to prevent fraud. Does yours from Amazon?

 

Is made in USA stamped on the bearing or on the box? I have also used Timken's in the past and found many that were Not made in USA.

 

I like the Moog "problem solver" tie rod ends etc but for the rotating parts I went 1A Timkens. I had over 250K on the OEMs and they were still good but replaced them when I had to do front universals.

I went with Timkens few years ago, If I remember right they had roller bearings instead of ball bearings, hope I am remebering this right but I know i definately bought Timken after doing research. Any roller bearing should be fine, the cheaper bearing tend to use ball bearings from what I understand and they dont hold up as well in heavy trucks

 

They all use roller bearings, ball bearings would fail quickly under that much load.

 

6 one way, half a dozen the other. My old 6.0 has a Timken on the drivers side and a MOOG on the passenger side. The Moog was put on about 30k after the Timken and cost about half as much due to an employee discount through a family member. Both are still doing well. The Timken has about 100k on it and the Moog about 70k.

 

pretty sure if you called tousley they could have gotten dang close to that $250 mark for OEM motorcraft hub assemblies. I just called a couple of months ago when I was pricing all this up.
