Quality of AC Delco wheel hub/bearings?

[Jeepwalker]

Looking or feedback on the AC Delco Front bearing/hub assembly replacements. What is the quality like? Is it just another china product in an GM box? Or is it a good USA/Canada/Mexico unit? Several recent AC Delco "Professional" products I've purchased lately ended up being rebranded import products with the chinese manufacture's name laser-etched on the part. Maybe all the aftermarket ones are made in China.

I'm not necessarily against Chinese products per-se, but I just put on an OReily's hub and after the instllation (which I had to remove the spindle to press the old one out), the new one has .004" run-out at the face just outside the wheel studs. Therefore the rotor run-out is WAY off! So I'm taking it back. It wasn't the 'economy' product, maybe it is just a fluke. Need to decide what to get as a replacement.

I also see SKF and Moog sell front bearing/hub assemblies too. Any feedback on them?

Thanks

The last set I bought had Timken bearings which I think is probably the biggest thing to look for.

Ok, maybe I'm answering my own question here. I did a little more research. Guys on Amazon say the AC Delco hub is USA-made. Quality good. I guess it's OE quality (better than their 'Professional' classification). Still like to hear what you guys have experienced with different hub brands.

It depends on what version of delco side it is. If it is the delco part number and the Gm number on the box, it is the OEM replacement. Just the short delco part number generally with a - or alpha in it. It is a lower version ie good, better.

If available I always buy AC Delco. Buy the higher end versions - they are OE replacements

That's a great idea. Me too ....except this time I let my guard down (I was hoping to use the vehicle for a weekend get-away). Anyway, I returned the defective hub to OReily's pronto and ordered an AC Delco from RockAuto. It's the OE Replacement part (Made in USA) ...and has .000" runout. It's perfect! I'd like to think the OReiley's defective hub that was out of spec was a fluke, but the last number of things I've gotten from OReily's I had to return due to poor quality. I still like them, but IDK what's going on there.

Thanks for the info guys.

I used ACDelco OE Wheel hubs when I replaced mine 2 years back. No complaints here. Wouldn't use anything else. At least not until we're forced to due to the lack of OE parts.
