Re: [MBZ] Somewhat OT:crockauto
Good idea, but not much differentiation: >WJB$57 CHINA ZWZ 1 yr warranty Dura International $69 1 yr warranty Probably china No info COO >Mevotech $72 Probably made in CHINA Canuk company 5 yr "warranty" or 1 yr warranty > >Raybestos $85 1 yr warranty no info COO >Timken $92 1 yr warranty no info COO Moog and SKF are 3 yr Mopar is 2 yr. the Mopars lasted 3-4 years including the overheating from the defunct accelerometer/antiskid. I probably should look at the price with shipping for several brands. Obviously a high use product with 7-10 different vendors. It is a known weakness. Crypsler quickly redesigned it, but the newer designs don't seem to last long either. These are bearings?

Curly invites opinions: >What would y'all buy? >I'd like these to last another 200k If it was for my car, I'd try to find SKF, or FAG bearings. I'd settle for Timken. If you enjoy that kind of work and can't wait to do it again, go with a lesser brand. My experience. My 2¢. Rick Who just bought Made in USA Moog brand tie rods that cost two thirds more than the no name China crap, because I DON'T like changing tie rods, and I DON'T want one to break while someone I care about is driving. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
[MBZ] Somewhat OT:crockauto
I''m looking at parts at crockauto for a Dodge. Choices are: WJB $57 Dura International $69 Mevotech$72 I've never heard of these brands, but I think Dura is a OEM for some things. These brands I've heard of with timken being the most trustworthy (IMHO) Raybestos $85 Timken $92 Then there are some other brands for more money, but not for my money... What is the collective wisdom? The Dura and WJB are the best sellers. What would y'all buy? I'd like these to last another 200k, but the Dodge parts only lasted 60k or so, but death was accelerated by the accelerometer turning on the anti skid at highway speeds for no reason. This caused overheating, and probably burned the grease, leading to bearing failure. Accelerometer is now disconnected. Is WJB the equivalent of Uro? Of course, I have no way of knowing if timken are make in China. For comparison: Last Dodge ones were about $100 ea. Today's dodge price was $220 each. (different dealer, no discount) I think I got 30% off on the first ones. I am leaning toward one of the two most popular: Duro or WJB.
