I recently bought 2 wheel bearings (hubs) for the ZJ. I was looking at Timkin, to avoid issue. They had their typical "Privet Label Packaged" listed under Timken for almost $30 less per side. I jumped on 2 of them, of course.
When I got them, they are "National Bearing" which has no affiliation with Timkin from what I can tell. They say parts can even be stamped with another brand ON the part itself, and still be a Timkin part. I've ordered privet label multiple times, and always got a blank box with a name brand part in it. But this is different. I just don't want to be changing out wheel bearings constantly.
Would you trust it? Or eat the $16 in return shipping and buy ones for about $60 more that say Timkin on the box/part?
Thanks.
