I have to replace the rear wheel bearings on my 2013 Subaru Outback and am met with a dilema: Timken or MOOG
Off RockAuto:
TIMKEN HA590313 ($82, 1yr warranty)
MOOG 512401 ($89, 3 yr warranty)
What do you guys think? I am thinking about going with MOOG because of the additional warranty, but am surprised Timken doesn't have a better warranty. I have heard and read about the quality of Timken bearings, but I also have read that the actual bearings are now made in China and how quality has gone down since. Does anyone know where the actual bearings are made for each? Perhaps I can buy just the bearing to press in/out, then I would know what it was, but I can't find a part number for anything less than the whole hub.
