I need to replace the drivers side front wheel hub on my 99 Coupe, but I'm going to replace both. I've heard some people recommend the Timken Wheel Bearing/Hub assemblies ... are they good, or should I stick with the AC Delco part?

Skf?

Yes, SKF

Either SKF or Timken branded front hubs will be fine for street duty. SKF also makes a race duty hub that is a bunch more expensive. I used the Timken and they have held up to five years of street and track abuse. Got them at the local Autozone parts store. I would not use the GM AC Delco stuff currently being sold, there were some reports of sourcing from China.

Make that 4 votes for SKF.


Unfortunately, since they're not a CF sponsor, I'm unable to hook you up with an SKF distributor, who has excellent pricing and service.....

I use Timken front and rear, if money were no object then it'd be SKF.

I used Timken on my rears. Its been over a year. I purchased mine at Autozone with a price match frrom Rockauto. The price match saved over $100 each.

They're not that expensive...unless you're referring to the "race" versions.

Edmond

How much are they?

leadfoot4

Where I buy them the SKF units are $191 front and $183 rear.

Edmond

Wow, I've never priced them before. Is that considered low?

leadfoot4

For SKF hubs, yes. Compared to various other brands, it's about $20-25 more

got my Timkens for around $150 each. Just do an internet search (wink). BTW, you can interchange the front and rear, even though there are 2 part numbers.

Thanks everybody. Locally the Timken are $154.00 and the SKF are $350.00 ... I'm replacing both front hubs, so I went with Timken.
