Aftermarket Wheel Bearing Brand
Any experience with the following



- Timken

- Koyo

- SKF

- Altrom

Im trying to source another alternative that is comparable to oem. Most are 1/2 the price of OEM.

SKF bearings are solid. I'd go with them.

Huh, that's strange. All we use at work are the SKF Napa bearings and we hardly have any problems....

I would say SKF. My mom works for their company and I have never had a problem or heard of a problem with their bearings, especially knowing some of their clients.
