I about to have to do my brakes as they are starting to squeal, and I was wondering which wheel bearings y'all prefer. RockAuto has great prices on the front wheel bears from SKF, but they don't have any Timken front bearings listed.
Here's the thing. I want Timken bearings because the ones for our trucks look to be made in the USA where the SKF bearings are made in Mexico, but the Timken bearings look to have poly cages where the SKF bearings look to have a steel cage which I think would be better than a poly cage.
IDK what do y'all run for wheel bearings if you have replaced your factory ones? Any other good brands? I've read that Moog bearings are great but can't find any so IDK if they make them anymore.
One other question not pertaining to bearing, but to brakes did any of y'all notice a difference when going to stainless braided lines? I understand the concept behind them, and it sounds sound, but I've never been able to tell a difference between factory rubber lines and stainless braided lines I've added to other vehicles I've owned. Still my truck has over 117K miles on it so maybe replacing the old rubber lines might be a good idea as then may have gotten a little soft after all those miles.
