Hey Michael, thanks for reaching out. I see you already got some parts on order, but I wanted to make sure your question was answered. The Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-655-35-K does not use Timken bearings. They are our etrailer brand bearings which we get from a company overseas.

If you want a Timken bearing kit to go with your hubs, we do have that available:

They work awesome and not very dirty work either, came with sealed grease and didn't take long to install, all products that I have purchased from e trailer, worked awesome.

I don’t believe the hubs/drums come with the Timken bearings. I bought the entire hub/drum assembly including pre installed bearings and grease. Very easy install/swap for the factory ones. I actually upgraded my car trailers original hubs/drums from 5 on 4 1/2 to the 6 on 5 1/2. Perfect fit. No issues. Been over a year or so and very happy with the product. Love E-Trailer and their products.
