I've used Timken and Moog and I honestly couldn't tell you which one was better. I'd go for the better deal if I have to replace them again.

Moog doesn't make bearings, they just make the assemblies. So, there's no telling what bearings are actually in there.

If you go with a Timken or a SKF unit, you'll know who made the bearings inside and can be better assured of the quality. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catego..._manufacturers

Like RevGTO, I have Timkens and have put 75K+ miles on them with no issues.

Sorry to break it to you, but SKF is Swedish. Their founder started the company because he was sick of the substandard German crap. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SKF
