Just got my truck inspected for the year and it passed but I was told that the drivers front wheel bearing will need to be replaced pretty soon. Truck has 95k on it, so seems a little premature. I’ll very for myself when I get a chance but plan to replace both front wheel bearings anyway before I get into a situation.
The question is what are the best options for replacement. OEM or Aftermarket. Found a decent deal for both fronts from Timken. Then Moog was the same price for one, which I’m not against spending the money but want to know if it is worth it. I will have this truck at least another 100k so I’d rather have them last.
Also my truck has always been very sensitive to the crown in the road so left 2 lanes tend to have to fight from pulling left. I drive in the right lanes mostly and everything tracks straight over there and on 2 lane roads. Is this normal and could it have led to the, what I consider premature wear of the drivers side bearing.
The tires wear evenly and are going to go 60k on these Cooper AT3 295/70/18.
