Timkin or SKF Front Wheel bearing- Preference which one?
 

I bought this "New-to-me" 2003 with 123,000 miles on it, (rust free from Navada) and had figured the front ball joint would need replacment. This was discussed in the price so its no surprise when the shop said they could not align it until those are replaced. I'am about to order the ball joints, (mopar oem's) and thought, as long as I'm in there, just replaced the front hub bearing assy's! I know they can last a longer time, but can go out sooner, & then I have to do it job over again. Im hearing that timkin has a china factory now for some of their bearings? T or F, I dont know? I've used timin in all past projects and had good luck, but this time, I'd like to consider SKF bearings. Any suggestions or thoughts?? Thanks!

I found this on you tube. I think I will go with SKF this time.

I put Timken's in my truck at 119K after the right front tried to lock up on me. Just put SKF's in my son's Jeep this weekend. I've used SKF seals in dirt bike forks and always had good results. I don't think you can go wrong with either brand.
