    Which brand of wheel bearing to get?

    Hey guys, so i bought some cheap rear wheel bearings for like $25.00. It worked good....for bout 4 months. I checked online on realoem.com and it looks like they're about 75 bucks for the oem ones...

    Is there a recommendation anyone has on what brand of wheel bearings to get and also what's a good place to get them?

    Fag is OEM without OEM price, go with those. Still pretty cheap.

      I like SKF if avail. Had an incident with a fresh FAG front wheel bearing on track (plastic ball bearing retainer) crumbled from heat. SKF has metal, replaced both front wheel bearings w SKF and no more issues.

        I have a front bushing that I didn't end up needing, but it's still in box if you're interested. It's a good brand, Leomforder or Meyle or something.

          SKF or FAG/Timken. Autozone has FAG/Timken bearings for cheap. Yes they do have a plastic retainer, I have not had any problems with them though.
