Selected User Reviews For MOOG 515036 Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly
So far, so good, but time will tell because all hub bearing assemblies have received mixed reviews. I would remind anyone doing this in their driveway to remove the center cap from their wheel, reinstall the wheel on the vehicle, and lower the jack so that the tire has weight again. The axle nut can then be easily loosening and tightened. Don't try tightening the axle nut with a friend holding a pry bar on the lug nut studs.
Buy Moog. A few years ago, I replaced the wheel hubs on my 2004 Silverado. I didn't have time to do them both at the same time, and I needed to save money, so I bought a cheapo off-the-shelf product. brand on the first one (had to do it right away because it was in such bad shape), and saved up enough money to replace the second one with a Moog hub a few months later. The original hubs lasted approximately 11 years. 5 years. The low-cost substitute only lasted three months. The Moog replacement is still as smooth and quiet as it was when I first put it in. I replaced the cheapo with a Moog, and I'm looking forward to not having to touch it for a long time! If you enjoy working on your car and are willing to spend extra time and money replacing the same part every few years, buy cheap. Moog is the way to go if you want to do it right.
This is a review of a crew cab 2005 Silverado Z71 1500. Last year, I replaced the driver's side hub, and just a few weeks ago, I replaced the passenger's side hub. On the driver's side, Firestone installed a (unknown brand) hub two or three years ago, and it failed after about a year. After consulting with the dealer and a local tire shop, I decided to purchase Moog and have the shop install it (both of them). When the driver's side wheel bearing was loose, it fixed the ABS warning light. A year later, it fixed my passenger-side wheel bearing that had become loose. It hasn't gotten any worse after a year. My truck has 190,000 miles on it, the majority of which are highway miles, but I do my fair share of driving over curbs and potholes.
I've used Timken, GM, and Moog hub assemblies, all of which are excellent products. I believe the Moog and the SKF (Napa) are the two best on the market in terms of durability and quietness. I replace mine every two years when I take the front end apart. 3 years. Replace the front dust shields, hub bolts, and, if possible, hub nut caps if you're doing this job. Every time the hub nut is removed and torqued to spec, GM recommends replacing it. If you hear a scraping or grinding noise coming from the front, it's most likely your dust shields, so I strongly recommend replacing them with GM ones from Amazon. You'll see what I'm talking about and appreciate it. These hubs are made in Korea, but they are exceptionally quiet, which I appreciate. They aren't Chinese junk, and I wouldn't call them that. They also come with new abs sensors. The wheel bearing hub assembly is to blame if your ABS randomly activates when you stop. This will take care of it; there's no need to clean the sensor.
It arrived quickly, the product appears to be of good quality, and installation was a breeze. It fit perfectly on my 99 Z71, and the truck rolls smoothly.
This particular item was purchased because he was said to be superior to the Chinese knock-off. offs. Well, this is an American knockoff, and it started whining on the first mile I drove the truck. How simple can something be and still fail to do what it's supposed to do in a normal manner? I should have listened to the advice of others and saved some money by buying the Chinese knockoff; you'll have the same luck. I would return if I could because it was very disappointing.
My truck needed to be replaced in order to pass a state-mandated inspection. After having these installed by my regular professional mechanic, I took the truck in for an inspection, only to discover that the right wheel bearing and hub assembly were both bad. I attempted three times to contact Moog for assistance, as their bearing/hub assemblies do not usually fail within the first 100 miles. I'm on my third week of waiting for my truck to be installed; it can't be driven legally, and I'm very disappointed. br>br>Review is now up to date: I needed to pass state inspection on the truck, so the only option was to have the faulty MOOG bearing replaced by the shop that was performing the inspection. Of course, this was double the cost, plus labor. I haven't been able to get in touch with anyone from MOOG. I've tried every phone number I've found on the internet but have never been able to speak with a live person. Amazon isn't much help either, referring me to the seller. The faulty bearing is still in its box, and it's in my truck. I'll keep trying to contact MOOG for a few more days, then I'll look up the company's physical address and send my complaint to them via certified mail. If I don't hear back, I'll take it to small claims court in Maine, where I'm sure I'll hear back. Add MOOG to the list of automotive product manufacturers who have lost their competitive edge and are no longer producing high-quality products.
It was impossible to tell it apart from the original that I had removed. Everything was identical, including the Timken bearings. There are no details about where the Delco was made or assembled. br>This item is manufactured in Korea. It looks fantastic, has excellent fit and finish, and was easy to put together. However, there were no markings on the bearings or elsewhere apart from the Moog stamp, and the wiring harness was not as thick as the Delco unit's. There was also some minor interference because the harness did not come through the dust shield at the same angle. I quickly fixed the problem with a die grinder. There won't be any issues. As a result, one side is Delco and the other is Moog. If anything changes, I'll write a new review.
