Wheel bearing for Chevy Impala

[WA1DH]

I had replaced the rear passenger side with a Timken bearing/hub unit about 7,000 miles ago. Today it catastrophically failed without warning while doing about 50 MPH downhill (bang, grinding, smoke, etc). I got out and checked everything and saw no tire damage and the brakes weren't overhearing so I limped it at slow speed about 5 miles to my destination. Apparently it was so bad that the tire was able to rub the bottom of the strut tower from the car lowering at that corner as the bearing chewed up. I now need a new tire and bearing/hub, along with whatever else I find damaged.

Any recommendation on replacement wheel bearing/hub brand for a 2013 Chevy Impala? There are many brands listed on Rockauto (Mevotech, Centric AcDelco, Timken, Moog, SKF). I usually trust Timken bearings but I'm second guessing after this.

Pictures of this mess to follow once I tear into it tomorrow.

BCA or SKF
Timken ain't what they used to be unfortunately.

SKF or OEM. Some brands just aren’t what they used to be. Timken is one of those brands that the quality has really fallen on.

Rock Auto carries the OE bearings. Make sure you get the one labeled "GM Original Equipment"

Daughter's 2017 Malibu has gone through 1 rear left, 1 rear right and 1 front left hub assembly in 120K. Unbelievable.

Well it looks like I jumped the gun on the diagnosis. The wheel bearing was just fine. The base of the strut tower rusted through letting the car drop onto the wheel. I've never seen anything like this before. There doesn't seem to be any drainage in the base so I would guess years of salt spray sat in there and rusted it out. I will go ahead and replace both rear struts to be safe. The fronts look less rusty. I should probably replace the tire while I'm at it

Get the KYB quick struts
