: Is this a good place to buy bearings?

did some searching and found MIBEARINGS.COM They claim to use all timken bearings and made in the USA hubs. Napa lists my front hubs at $277 these guys sell em for$140 ?? That makes me nervous. But timken is some of the best in my opinion. Has any one heard any stories about these guys? good or bad?

Thanks

I'd stay away from so called "House Brands". Don't cheap out on something as important as your front hubs. If your concerned about whether you're going to get the genuine Timken bearing then buy the genuine Timken Hub(SP580310). You may pay a bit more up front but down the road you'll be laughing. The bitterness of cheap quality remains long after the sweetness of low prices have gone.

x2 I have dealt w/ dmaxstore good products nice prices and fast delivery. On the wheel bearings get the Timken and its all you need. Don't get cheaper brand ones.

I really hate to bypass a paying sponsor, but you can get the SP580310 for alot less the the dmaxstore guy.

Rock auto has the exact part for 179 and stockwiseauto.com has then for $169... exact same part, thats $346 SHIPPED vs $420 shipped from dmaxstore. dmax auto is banking off members here

thanks for all the input guys! Actually I think that part number everyone keeps listing is wrong for my truck anyway. Ive got a 1994 GMC K2500 4x4 with NO abs.

another vote for dmaxstore .. OEM timken part for a good price
