Timken WB000028 Wheel Bearing

Seems to be excellent quality, ABS sensor still works. I did compare it to DA bearing which is fine, but this is a little better IMHO.

Replaced this bearing about a week ago and it has been holding up fine since then. 2013 Mazda 3i 2.0l 6 speed auto, front passenger side. I pressed the old bearing out with my 12 ton shop press and the damned outer race stayed on the hub, so I had to use a bearing separator to remove that. While I was doing that, I had this new bearing in my freezer (still in the bag and closed). Then when I was ready to put the new one in, I took it out of the freezer and set it up on top of my press frame with the magnets/reluctor facing down (the way I intended to press it in) and I heated the knuckle bearing hub with a map gas torch for a bit. Then I pressed this frosty cold bearing right in without any issue. I used the old bearing to press this one in (outer race to outer race). Then I used the old bearing (inner race to inner race) while I pressed the hub through the new bearing. Take note, once you install the knuckle back onto the vehicle, it may feel like the bearing has play in it if you grab the hub and wiggle around on it. This is normal. Once you put the cv axle through and then tighten the cv axle retaining nut down, this play will completely go away. As for longevity of this bearing, only time will tell, but if it fails early, it's definitely not from me not performing the whole procedure perfectly. Suggest replacing the cv axles and lower control arm ball joints when you replace the bearing. Then, ideally you will have a nice new front end.

When it comes to bearings I’ve always replaced failed parts with timken knowing I will get a quality part that LAST.

For my ol lady's 2011 Mazda. Fit perfectly. Now she no longer whines at me to fix it. ;)

Perfect replacement on my 2009 Mazda3. No issues with ABS sensors. Hopefully they will last a long time.10-8-2020 Update: About 2.5 years later - still turning the wheels strong.

Best bearings money can buy. Fit my Mazda 3 perfectly and are better than stock ones. Just don't forget to put the snap ring back in before you press the hub back in like I did. Doh

They did work with the abs but they hum horribly

The bearing has a direction, one side is magnetized. Most reliable way to tell is to see which side an (iron, nickel, cobalt) paper clip sticks to. On my bearing, it was the side with the brown edge.The magnetized side needs to align with the ABS sensor. On the Mazdaspeed3, the magnetized side needs to face the engine. If you fail to do so, the car will trip some ABS lights.My bearing was marked KOYO Japan which is an OEM supplier for many Japanese vehicles. After installation it seemed like the bearing had some flat spots- will see if they go away after a few miles.
