I didn't realize Timken produces bearings at first. It's ironic because I purchased Timken brand bearings/hubs for my Civic, and they come with NTN bearings installed in the hubs. The reason I recommended it was because Honda uses the same NTN bearing from the factory, but the factory parts cost 2x a much.

I guess Timken doesn't even trust their own bearings lol
