Moog rear wheel bearing hub

Post by **confused_al** » 18 Oct 2014, 10:06

In search of a replacement of my failed blue box rear wheel bearing I found this Moog brand one on advance auto web site. It is the same as my blue box bearing (made by SKF), and only costs me $58 (with $40 off $100 purchase coupon)!

SKF is One of the most reputable of all. FAG, Timken, will also be a trusted choice in hub bearings.
All of which are in the $100.USD range. So your price sounds good. If it is a genuine SKF bearing that is installed.
Moog parts are refurbished. So You may not be sure of the bearing, no matter what the casting says.
Also, I do not see SKF stamped into the bearing itself, which I believe they almost always do.

EDIT: I have had no issues that come to mind with the Moog brand.

That is nice if you own a press and your existing hub is friendly.

That indeed needs a shop size press.

Not sure about the bearing, but on Volvo's bearing it has no stamp either

On the box it says "Made in USA", that beats any Chinese crap...lol

BTW, it is not cheap if not for that coupon:

With all that being said, Moog is a refurbished product.
