The bearing come as hub assemblies. There are no individual bearings like you'd find on a 2wd. I buy SKF.
And you'd want to take a look at the Sticky thread about replacing hub/bearing assemblies.

Timken offshored a lot of their production, that's why I gave up on them. But so has SKF.
Yes, much of current Timken is china Timken.
Not Timken too! Not good! I rely on Timken for left side bearings in Harley motors,,,,,,,,f#####ck!
