Default Any experience with TRQ front hubs?

Looking to replace my front hubs when I do new brakes and calipers. Has anybody used TRQ brand hubs? Any reviews? Thanks.

I installed one of these in the rear a month ago. I just took a trip and logged about 700 miles on it. It has performed without issue.....I replaced a Proline from Rovers North. It was the second one so I went cheap. My experience with Proline has not been good. The original Proline replacement failed under warranty. I was sent a new one that failed a few years later. Now TRQ.....At a fraction of the cost I will find out if I get what I pay for. Front & other rear hubs were replaced with used Genuine from Will Tillery 10yrs ago and are going strong. What are others using??

I have a TRQ on my 04 and it’s been on there for 20k miles. No sounds or play yet.

My understanding (from 20 years of D2 ownership and anecdotal chats with my shop and here online) is that Timken or Genuine Land Rover is the *only* way to go for D2 hubs. (in fact Genuine LR may be Timken but rebranded as JLR)

I couldn't find Timken or Genuine LR anywhere online. Genuine equivalent, but not Genuine LR.

Yes the OEM LR branded hubs are Timken. The Timken hubs have been hard to get. I ended up going with Moog hubs from RockAuto.

Ordered OE equivalent hubs. TAY100060G. They are Britpart in a white box. Not the cheaper Britpart in the blue box. Made in Taiwan instead of China. This is the only genuine type hub I could find. Hope they are of decent quality. We shall see.
