They're not Timken, though. They are Iljin, same as OEM.

They are Timken Unless they are made for Timken by another company. They specify Timken when ordering and come in a Timken box.

I hope you are not thinking the box means anything these days. When I looked in the Timken and Moog JK hub boxes, the hubs had all the OEM markings, including the names Iljin and Korea.
Timken box, Moog box, it makes no difference.

When I investigated this subject, I was hoping the Timken hubs would have tapered roller bearings, made by Timken. No such luck. They have ball bearings like the OEM hubs, and come from the same source as OEM.

I suppose Timken could have started making the JK hubs since last year. I have yet to see one, though.
If you look in a Timken box, and actually see a Timken JK hub, maybe even with tapered roller bearings, that would be GREAT news.

See this thread for details: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/stoc...-study-124299/
