Replacing my unit bearings in the next week and just curious if one brand is better than the other. Have read that certain brands come with the shorter sensor wiring causing issues on install.

the Timken has 2 different product numbers for the same hub assembly, the HA590482 has the longer ABS wire
I prefer Orielly's Precision brand, it also has a longer ABS wire but carries a 3yr warranty versus the Timken 1yr and IMO easier to take in for warranty if needed.
I had a Precision hub fail while I was on a trip. I ordered the Timken via Amazon to get delivery to the hotel.
When I got home I took the hubs to Orielly and they offered me a full refund since I had already purchased and installed the Timken- I was in the last month of the warranty period.
They did inform me I could have taken them to any Orielly's and they would have warrantied them the same way.
Beware of buying hubs from Amazon- there are cheap knockoffs with the same names but not necessarily the same company :doh:
I wouldn't buy anything from Rock Auto. luckily what I bought were fairly inexpensive parts but they looked like they had been used. I called and all they did was refer me to their convoluted mess of a website to handle the exchange...I bought what I needed locally.
