Last time I took my 05 LR3 to the dealer they mentioned the front right wheel bearing/hub would need replacing soon, so I started looking around at prices. Amazon has a Febest part #LR014147 for $80, compared to the dealer (~$300) or Atlantic British ($249). Anyone have experience with these bearings or thoughts on yay or nay??

 

Timken HA500601 are my choice. $150-$165 range.

Can't comment on Febest quality, but I agree that Timken makes great stuff and I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Timken bearing.

 

never heard of that brand

 

Timken? Or Febest? I'm guessing the latter as Timken is a well known brand that's been around forever.

I've never heard of Febest either. For the money I'd vote Timken myself when the time comes.

 

Febest never heard of them

 

This may be a I'm selling the car brand, go timkin

 

Pretty sure mine were Timken. No problems, but only driven about 15,000 since putting them on about a year ago. Make sure you replace both sides at same time. And unless you have a fancy 'removal' tool, you'll be hammering the heck out of the old Hub unit, so please please make sure you remove the Wheel Speed Sensor. I did not do this, and accidentally broke it. First timers mistake. Don't do what I Did!

 

Sorry to revive such an old thread, but I thought my question fit best here....

I think I'll need a new set of front wheel bearings... I know timken is a solid brand, but I've also heard great things about Detroit Axle...

At 1/4 the price of timken, very tempted. Anyone else running Detroit Axle hubs/bearings?

They are not very good. Go with what is proven. ***, Timken or SKF. These are very heavy trucks, the bearings are not an area to cheat on. Timken was the main OEM on the LR3 as far as I know and what I went with. Timken run $150 each via Rock Auto or Amazon (as long as sold and shipped by Amazon, not third party supplied).
