Genuine alternatives for hub/bearings and axle shafts?

Post by SUBYDAZZ » Wed Sep 03, 2025 2:39 pm

Are there any reliable aftermarket parts as good as the genuine ones when it comes to replacing the wheel hub / bearing assemblies and drive sahfts, or are genuine parts still much more durable / better option even given the price difference?

Anyone with good / bad experience with either long term?

Subydazz!! There’s a blast from the past!

If I’m not going genuine bearings I try to aim for a Japanese made bearing - NTN, Koyo etc

What are they going into?
