for those of you who have replaced your front hubs did you go with the Timkens or Nationals. which one is the better of the two? im planning on doing a whole lot of front end preventative maintenance so im gonna replace the hubs and lube the needle bearings as well as all the vacuum seals and ball joints with a new set of rotors and hawk pads. im leaning towards the timkens since ive seen them at the international dealer close by.....
Timkin. I believe all, except the Chinese-made ones, are only re-boxed Timkins. If I recall correctly, Timkin is the OEM supplier, and the only one that makes the internal bearings.
Of course, maybe Timkin makes these in China, and the "Chinese-made" ones are coming off the same line. Who knows any more?
