01 Outback Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) You get what you pay for. My 292 K 01 Outback started the dreaded front wheel bearing howl on my way back from a road trip to Rock Hill, SC with a newly acquired hot rod 2 stroke RZ350 Yamaha behind it on the bike trailer. I went to a local parts house whose title has the word zone in it and bought a set of thier store brand bearings and had them installed at my local and well trusted shop. Between running my farm and working full time I dont have time to do it myself. 200 miles and less than 2 trips later said store brand bearings began to howl again. The young manager gave a me a set of Timkens ( almost double in price for the Timkins) for free even swap. My friend at the shop gave me a big discount and now the Outback drives like a new one. Bottom line don't buy the cheapies.... Edited October 26, 2015 by 01 Outback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
