front wheel bearings

[gnilson]

I replaced the stock wheel bearings with 90k miles on them and got 5k out of the new ones before they started rattling them again. I am willing to spend some $$ to get good ones but don't know what to get. I don't want to have to change them every 20k miles.

TIA

Bearings aren't serviceable. Have to replace entire hub. Only did mine once. No issues afterwards. May have been Dorman.

Ah the fun of cheap wheel bearings.

I learned my lesson my my old Trailblazer (10K miles), and Aurora (6-7K miles) before having to do the job a second time.

Never again will I buy cheap wheel bearings, it's worth the extra cost to not have to do the job again.
