Hi there from Germany. My front wheel hub bearings are going to pieces (1999 Blazer LT 4WD) . The last ones I bought came from China ( only the shipping box was made in USA, unfotunately) and only lived about 5000 miles. My dealer here now in offered Timken part number 513124 or National with the same number at reasonable prieces. Which should I buy, do you you have any experiences with the durability? Thank you very much , greetings from Europe...

 

both timken and national are well known bearing/seals companies. have had good luck with both of them. if i had to chose id take timken but probably doesnt matter

 

Although the National wheel hub bearings should fit on trucks from 1997-2005, someone in another forum told me they donīt . Does anyone know the answer? Thx a lot!

 

Heard great things about timken, and affordable too! Unfortunately the hub assemblys seem to go a lot on these things, easy job though
