BEK-35K Trailer Bearing Kit vs WPS Trailer Bearing Kit #1149

These two kits fit the same axle: both carry the L68149 inner and L44649 outer bearings with matching L68111 and L44610 races for 3,500 lb tapered spindles. The BEK-35k adds a tang washer to the cotter pin, while the #1149 uses a spring-loaded double-lip seal. Both are rated 4.8 out of 5, but the #1149 has far more ratings behind that score. Buy the BEK-35k if you want the washer included; buy the #1149 if you want the seal with the reinforced spring and the longer track record.

• Choose the BEK-35k if you want a kit that includes the tang washer along with the cotter pin, so nothing extra is needed for the spindle nut.
• Choose the #1149 if you want a spring-loaded double-lip seal and a kit with a much larger base of owner ratings.
