I would go for the pair of Timkens. Chances are good the other side can't be far behind.03 1500 suburban 4x4
Rock Auto prices:
SFK - 106
Timken - 118 ( found a pair for 145 on ebay? Fishy?)
AC Delco - 146
GM OE > 200
Leaning towards AC Delco but I understand they may be reboxed timken or sfk?
Thanks
^^^This. OE, SKF, and Timken are the only 3 options I consider for hub/bearing assemblies.SKF from RA in this case.
I’d be happy with OE, Timken, or SKF and just go with whatever is cheaper.
AC Delco is not the same as OE and seems to be as bad as other cheap aftermarket lines these days.
While interesting many things have changed in where companies manufacturer products in the last 25 years. And then there are mergers and acquisitions to consider.I bought a pair of Timken hub bearings ( Made in France) for my Isuzu p/up more than 25 years ago and still performing great. I used Mobil semi synthetic blend grease
Usually true, but i did get a good ebay deal on a NOS Centric premium hub with Timken bearings in it. Box read "USA" too. I'm more likely to buy on ebay if it looks like a one-off part, someone getting rid of a single unit rather than a volume seller of same part.^^^This.

Also, stay away from ebay and Amazon...they are crawling with counterfeit parts.
