2017 PP Front wheel bearing

I will be trying to return these to RockAuto. I pressed out one of the studs and measure the spline and it is .052" smaller on diameter than the stock or ARP extended studs. I was going to install extended studs but since the studs lack flats on the heads and spline diameter is undersized this this way more of a hassle than its worth.

Wow that is a sad sight, thank you for the heads up. Not sure what to use if mine go out again.

Moog must have changed their requirements for this part. I ordered two and the boxes say made in China and the hubs don’t have any marking. The studs do not have the flats so they have to be cut in order to be removed.

Just curious, have you reached out to MOOG for comment?

Ford Hubs are made in USA FWIW. OEM hubs have no markings whatsoever indicating they are made anywhere but the USA. Moog previously just re boxed Ford hubs. Now they have a replacement out which is not OEM.

Ford hubs are Made in the USA by whom?

I still have my old Ford hubs, they are not identical to the Moog hubs I put on. Sounds like Moog has moved away from what I also put on. The bearing seals on my Ford hub and Moog hubs are different colors

As far as Moog and several others that had really respected names most of them just buy Dorman parts and either rebox them or add their bearing or ball joint. It also depends which grade you buy. We have seen GT350R hubs from Moog that were just Ford hubs re boxed, had all the Ford laser etching on them, just in a Moog package.
