Wheel bearing question

http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...=wheel+bearing

Do you guys trust this?

I don't know too much about wheel bearings, other than my EVO needs two of them..
I need one rear and one front.
Rock auto has a rear for $75, but no fronts. Fronts are about $180 at most places, just trying to find a cheaper alternative

I ended up buying Timken hubs from Autozone for like $320.. not terrible. Hell of a lot cheaper at Autozone than most other places, surprisingly..

Timken actually makes a good product, on top of that there's a 3 year warranty on them. As quickly as EVO's eat wheel bearings, I just thought that would be the better way to go about doing it. I might have to do a bit more labor, but for the next three years I should be good. haha

What do you mean "as quickly as EVO's eat wheel bearings"?? My car still has fairly low miles, 65k, but I am on the original wheel bearings. I know plenty of other people with over 100k miles & still on the original wheel bearings...

I was looking at ordering a new front wheel bearing w/hub. Rockauto had them for $75, I ended up going with oem for not too much more. Im hoping for that price your getting fronts and rears.
