Default Federal Mogul hub bearings?

Federal Mogul offers hubs for our cars under the "National" brand.
Anyone ever use these?

The ones that are stamped "national", have held up about 14 track days on a c4(front). The rears are still holding up. The ones in the national box that are not stamped, lasted about 1 day, they were visibly not the same either, so I wonder if that one was really national. They are USA.

Have been using them in the front since this spring. about 8 days, so far so good (R6 and A6 tires mostly)

I did have an issue with connectors on the wheel speed sensors, cleaning them and bending the pins seems to have cured the problem

Heavy Duty Corvette Wheel Bearings

We offer these as an upgrade to folks who spend a lot of time on the track. We have seen them last up to a season, though of course conditions always vary.

Feel free to give me a call if you have any questions.

Yeah I needed one quick and the National brand was the only one in town. I ended up ordering the Timkin from Autozone.

They're a butt load cheaper from rock.com. Seems like AZ wanted ~$240 and I cried so much they took 10% off and let me have it for $220. Then I ordered another one from Rock.auto for ~$160'ish. This was in August.

They were both Timkens.

Yep, that's what I told them, but no dice.

They said they had a price increase, so now it was ~$240. When they saw me cry like a little girl and I told them them I didn't get in increase in my Social Security check, they knocked 10% off.

I guess that was better than nothing!
