Rear Bearings: which brand?
 
Anyone have experience with Beck/Arnley vs. Timken rear bearings? Some have recommended Timken and I saw one suggest that Beck/Arnley may be better. Any thoughts? For something like this, the price difference, IMO, isn't relevant. I'd like the better set.
Thanks!

Chances are that they are all made in china anyway... the way things have gone the last several years, that is probably a good thing... with the unions holding us hostage and all.

Sneaky dang unions. Maybe they can offer some bearing advice. And then there's NTN and NSK, too. Any clue?

i picked up a wheel hub bearing assembly from ebay for my legacy which seems to be doing pretty well. it was priced great but its not a name brand by any means.

Last known ( when I worked for Timken ) in 2007 the wheel bearings were made in South Carolina .. They now be made in Japan but. I do not think they have a plant in China yet . NSK is also Japan. My PO put in Timken , can't really vouch for them yet, only have about 4,000 on them.
