Ron,
Doing the same thing to #458. Bought a Timken. At one point you could find private labeled NDH bearings at AZ but I don't think so any longer. Besides, how many miles will u be putting on the car yearly? |

See what kind of Warranty they give you with Timken.
If Lifetime i would go with Timken and you'll never have to buy another bearing. Pete

Re: Best Rear Wheel Hub Assembly?
If there is no play in the hub - top to bottom or front to rear - then the bearing is not the problem. Sounds like a tire with some cupping ...

No such luck anymore - all sold out! Looks like they only have front hubs now. |
