[QUOTE="5280nitro, post: 16757, member: 1263"] Like Cavell stated, I have also tried the cheaper bearings & put a set of the Autozone premium bearings into my 05 LT AWD & got about 3 months out of each set. I finally purchased a set of the Timken's & have had no problems after 60K. For whatever bearing you decide to go with, make sure to follow the proper torque spec on the axle nut. This is responsible for the bearing preload. If it is to tight it can create a premature bearing failure. Most of the bearing sets I bought had there own torque spec sheet that was in the box. Good luck on this quest. [/QUOTE]
