Hi,
Looking for new wheel bearings and the seal for a 94 4runner. I came across the wabfab kit for $39 a side. The kit includes inner, outer bearings, rear seal, the races and some gaskets. For 39 bucks a side its a heck of a deal.
Has anyone used these, what kind of quality are the bearings?
Sorry Wabfab guy not trying to offend u!

i think he is a trail gear dealer so i assume they are same quality as trail gear...
lots of people say the marlin crawler ones are good

by trail gear do you mean the brand name?

they are prolly the biggest toyota aftermarket compant and have that ifs eliminator s.a.s kit eveyoneuses...
wabfab uses there parts and installs there products i beilve.. if you email him he will tell you the name of bearings but i can assure you the stuff he sells he runs.. so it cant be garabge...
i assume these are for the rear???
you should check with your local dealer cause oem bearing are usual not much more and a usually the best way to go.

IFS and SFA wheel bearings are the same.

IFS and SFA seals are NOT.

OEM are about $200 just for wheel bearings and trunnion bearings for both sides. No seals, gaskets, etc.

They are not stamped with anything that I remember such as Timken or Koyo but I run them in my personal rigs and I have never had a problem. Sold hundreds more and never had one single complaint.

I have mic'd an OEM bearing vs the ones I sell and they are identical.

I was at Northern Tool the other day and saw a 3/4"drive 2 1/8" socket for less than $11. A 1/2" female to 3/4" male adapter is about $6.

Also, $19 at Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/OTC-6612-Heavy...4140613&sr=1-1 and you can get free shipping if you order $25 or more, which is pretty easy to do.

But, if you're ordering parts from Webfab ($14 for the socket), maybe the shipping won't be the full $10 and it's always good to buy from good people.

Your local Autozone, Checker, Advance, etc will probably have them in stock and will either be Timken or SKF.

Nothing wrong with Wabfab - just don't see any reason to pay/wait for shipping if you don't need to.

I have checked my local auto supply stores, Kragens, auto zone, san pablo automotive and sears.3 hours wasted. No one had the 54mm or 2 1/8 in 3/8 or 1/2". I saw one for 16bucks on amazon, but if i buy wabfabs bearing kit maybe he will make me a deal on shipping. Didn't think about Northern tool, everytime i go there they are always out of whatever I want.

wab fab has the 54mm socket for liek 12 bucks just get it with your bearings.. and maybe he will toss in a sticker!
