what front wheel bearing/hub assy. to buy

[PУCCKAЯ_e30ka]

I've heard of timken, SKF and meyle. Which is the best bang for the buck? I'm not going to do any traking or auto-xing (mebe in far away future), they need to last a long time. I've searched, but only found something about rear wheel bearings. Thanks for the help guys.

wow, the skf factory is about 15 minutes from me. located right next to the FAG building, always great rolling into that town and seeing FAG in 15 foot light up letters!

SKF or FAG. No Meyle.

[PeaveyBassist]

Dave would pick the FAG... of course... I would pick the SKF.

Thanks guys, I heard that SKF is made in China, Italy and Germany... I guess Germany is the best... but do you know if places like bma, bmp, bavarian sell skf from china? The reason I ask this is because I know a guy who got skf from China and he had to replace it after 30k mils.....

China good!

What's cheap in China is labor and thats the part of the cost that is less. The production facilities are newer than in western Europe and the US where some steel mills and manufacturing facilities are post war boomtown. The facilities in the third world are mostly owned by the same multi-nationals as in the west. Not to overstate the obvious, but that's why they're called multi-nationals. Nitto Kokhi bearings from Japan have been preferred by some racers for decades.
