front hub/wheel bearing

[SteveSC]

Just letting eveyone know that prime choice auto parts has very cheap bearings for the LS. They are on ebay as well as online. For Canadian owners it is even better as they are in Canada so no duty. I just ordered two front hubs for $110, that price is for both! Shipping included. For all the americans I imagine you would pay duty but it would still be pretty cheap.

Good to know, but might want to find who their supplier is. The market has been flooded with low quality offshore bearings over the past few years. Timken and just a few others are still high quality.

It comes with a six month warranty and you can purchase 2 year warranty for $5 and lifetime for $8.50. I've had my first one in for about six months now and no issues. They may not be the highest quality but that is good warranty. I asked the local parts shops here and a more expensive bearing only came with a 90 day warranty. If they were of poor quality you would think they wouldn't offer a lifetime warranty for less than $9.

Seen the honda commercials recently?

"Is this car as reliable as the Honda?"
"Well, it has a super long warranty, so you can RELY on the warranty!"

Buy whatever works, I was just commenting that there has been a noticeable decrease in bearing quality across the board over the past few years and some folks that I trust are being incredibly selective about what they buy.
