Time for new bearings, again

[countrycorey]

So I replaced bad hub bearings back in January of 2022 and only got 3 years and less than 40k miles. I believe i used SKF x-tracker hybrid. It's time to do it again, what are the best options for front hub bearings now?

SKF, Timken, NTN, etc. all the ones you used to be able to rely on seem to be a hit or miss now. Quality control has gone downhill in bearings it seems. Might just use the same one or any of the "top" tier and see if you get a good one. Probably a 50/50 chance

There was nothing else going on that affected the lifespan?

I have been running the 5 spoke denali 20s with adapters since may 2017 and i installed the current hubs in january 2022. I'm taking them off and going back to no spacers/adapters and boulder h2s with ~33s (trail grapplers most likely) this month.

I always went with Timken and they seem to be good. Got them from Rock Auto.

That's where I got the skf bearings from as well.

Do they have warranty? Rock auto is pretty easy to deal with.

The high end napas are skf, keep that in mind. Iirc they are lifetime warranty

James, would you happen to have a part number for NAPA bearings?

Copy. I usually just log into my account and it will be there if I bought it on my account.
