In October 2009 I advocated buying the Timken bearing from Autozone at the stupid price of $88 - this price must have been an anomaly and is now history, as their price is now in the low $200s (I should have bought dozens and resold them....). The part in the Timken box that I received was an SKF bearing, stamped on the part.
Many here have written that non SKF bearings have been problematic. If you look closely at pictures of various bearings, you can see that the cheaper bearings have a different casting of the flange that bolts to the suspension, no raised areas around the bolt holes. Obviously, this has nothing to do with the action of the bearing, but seems to be part of the package.
