Timken rear wheel bearing installation
There are some guys that don't like em......One of my best friend's hates em.....he always jokes that he is gonna tow me home when they fail.....he's still waiting. I laugh at him cause I don't have to mess with that end play adjustment. It's like anything else.....some people like em....some people don't. You can have an opinion but you need all the facts to form an opinion not just hearsay. Now if you had any early set and they failed on you then I can see how you wouldn't like em. Fact is almost all new cars and trucks on the road now use the "green" style bearings on the rear now...not the tapered cause very few know how to adjust them properly and thats why the aftermarket axle manufacturers went that way as well.....much easier to install and an almost 0% chance of a bearing failure do to a misadjusted pre-load setting.
