Front Wheel Assembly - Brands/Reccomendations

Need to replace my front wheel assemblies.

Are Timken or Moog worth the cost (look like 75-80% higher) than the brands I've never heard of.

Any feedback appreciated.

Thanks MikeyB. I tend to thing that way too...buy quality once.

Anyone know what brand they put on stock/OEM. They lasted me 225K miles and I'm wondering how much they cost compared to Timkens at $230 each.

Any idea what web site is best to get OEM prices to compare to Timken prices?

When mine go again in going with a free spin kit, I can take them apart once a year and grease them

LOL, some of us, including the original poster, already have a factory installed free spin kit!

The OEM is Timken.

I would check Rockauto and Partsgeek for prices.

Your factory "freespin kit" immobilizes the driveshaft and front axle?
