It might be dealer only.Usualy if they change it takes a year or to for aftermarket.Did you check with Advanced?Rocky

Actually 185 for list isnt bad.We were paying 100 or more for Timken bearings at the shop with our pricing.The cheap bearings dont last.Either factory Timken or National.Rocky

I wonder as there used to be a vehicle with low mileage come into our shop with a front hub bearing humming away, and alot of the time there was a story of hitting a curb etc recently.

Usually it's not a coincidence.

Of course, there is no mention of the mileage on the vehicle (originally posted) either. Parts do wear out.

I've worked on 08's that are way past warrenty because of mileage.

We've had a couple of 08 F350's that are past thier 160000 km engine warrenty too.
