thanks for the link chip.

what are the better names to look for? what should i stay away from?

I know for sure that SKF (NOT SFK - Sorry!) bearings are good. I'm not too sure about the rest. I bought another one for $50 shipped, and it seems to be doing just as good as the SKF, but we'll see how long it lasts.

because i doubt the adjustment bolts make you wheels loose when jacked off the ground?? i have danced this dance before, unfortunately.

If your wheels are moving when raised.......that's a serious issue! You need to replace those bearing assemblies before you lose a wheel!

I had the same issue on my Caddy SLS. I ignored the guy that warned me of the danger...........Less than a week after being warned, my front drivers side wheel literally came off while I was going around a swooping curve. I went off the road, hit a few trees, flipped a few times, and woke up in the ER. Total loss!

KEEP YOUR BEARINGS CHANGED!:

What GMB bearings? I did a search and found no SKF on eBay. I don't feel like paying $230 each for AC ones. They seem ok and aren't terribly cheap, I think lowest was like $60 each plus shipping

That sounds good to me. What I did, was found some on eBay, then researched the company that made them. You could probably do the same.
