Pre-pressed Hub Assemly options?

[Ppilar]

Anyone have any recommendations on good Pre-Pressed hub assembly? I don't have the tools to get it pressed on my own and need to get the front drivers side one changed. The only option I am finding is by Dorman and not sure how good this one is.

Any help would be appreciated!! Thank you!

I bought Jersybuilt hubs a year or so ago. They seem great, no issues 30k miles later.

They take a while to get built / shipped, I think it was a couple weeks from the time I ordered to the time I got them, but I expected that going in, so no issues.

Blue Pit is also an option, but I have yet to have to replace mine, so no experience with anyone.

I bought one from NAPA in December. I have a few thousand miles on it since then without any issues. It's probably not the best option, but it has a lifetime warranty and NAPA is local so warranty claims are easy. Also you could get it right away instead of waiting if you need it right now.

DITTO! Just bought a pair from Napa as well. Part Number
NOE 77010691 for $229.99ea. Same part number for both sides. Oh and they come with the axle seal too. Going to install this weekend. Would have liked to order a quality set from Bluepit, but they were a little more expensive than what the wallet could afford, plus Napa is 4 miles from my house if there's ever an issue...

I just did both with the 1A autos seem to be very good quality, they do not come with the inner seal but are lifetime warranty $164 for the pair they get great reviews as well.

I'm planning on buying some parts from 1A auto soon, maybe including the other hub that I haven't replaced yet. I looked at the part numbers in their sets for different steering/suspension components and it's the same as what RockAuto sells, but a lot cheaper and with free shipping. Seems like it's worth a shot.

I would also recommend jerseybuilt for price and quality.

Rock Auto has a wide selection from numerous manufacturers.

I guess he is out of town right now according to his post...but I got mine from 05Taco4x4 and have had no issues.

Also, make sure you have fire and brimstone, a breaker bar, and a cheater pipe on hand if you're doing it yourself. :cheers:

I have run the Dorman pre-pressed assembly on the left front of my 2008 SR5 4WD V8 for two years and 48,000 miles so far without any issues.

It was the first thing I did to my 4Runner when I bought it, as it needed the left front hub assembly when I picked it up from wholesale at the dealership I worked for a the time.

I have no idea how well it'd hold up to the rigors of off-roading, or if it'd live a long happy life in the rust belt, but it worked just fine for a 105 mile daily commute for two years.

Has anybody tried these assemblies:

The ad says they're Koyo bearings but I don't see the stamping in the pictures. I messaged the seller so we'll see what they say.

These ones for sure say Koyo, but more expensive, of course:

Only authorized dealers are allowed to sell genuine Koyo bearings and Koyo authorizes only very few of them and the price for one genuine Koyo bearing would be almost as much for the "pair" of assemblies in one of the links you posted just for the bearing itself not with the hub, so you can be assured that both of the eBay auction are using counterfeit Chinese Koyo bearings in their assemblies.

Napa sells just the Koyo bearing for about $180, that's just for one bearing itself, not a hub/bearing assembly.

In here just to say DO NOT order from marion b2b. The dude is a ****ing terrible flake. Assemblies take 4-6 weeks to arrive (I made the mistake of ordering a second after my first bad experience, thinking it would be better) even when the order confirmation email says a week or so and the guy does only responds to one out of four or five emails/phone calls and even then it’s just BS like he had a family emergency has been “super busy.”

One of his bearings failed on me in less than a year so I tried contacting him for a warranty through email and by phone to no avail.

I ended up getting a NAPA assembly during black friday deals and it’s been great so far ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I also was just informed by my dealer that it will be $800 for the front passenger wheel bearing. no thanks. so far i have read reputable reviews of wheel bearing hub assemblies from bluepit and jerseybuilthubs. Poll? Feedback is appreciated!

Howdy guys and gals!

My front-right bearing is on its way out. I ordered a hub assembly from "Detroit Axel".

Does anyone have experience / reviews with Detroit Axel?

I did some research on this recently and the general consensus was Toyo or NSK as they are made in Japan. Reviews on Amazon are all over the place for the others. Seems if not stamped with these 2 brands then they are Chinese. I almost went with Detroit Axle as they had a good warranty but I decided to get a Beck/Arnley bearing without hub because the picture shows Koyo, I hope it's accurate.

Just an FYI, there many Chinese counterfeit bearings out there with the Koyo name on them, the most telling factor of the bearing being counterfeit is price, normally for a genuine Koyo bearing alone without the hub the price should be around $80.
