    Default front wheel bearings/hub

    So my car failed the safety inspection because they said my front wheel bearings are too loose. These are all over the map price wise, anywhere from 65$ each on ebay up to 300$ each from local parts stores. Has anybody replaced theirs? if so what brand/price did you go with and are you happy with them?

    Thanks in advance.

    Yup piece of cake. I just used the $99 O'Reilly ones. Works fine. I went ahead and replaced both since my car had 148-149k miles on it when the drivers side was on it's way out.

    Let me know if you have any questions as to how to do it. Just be prepared for it to be stubborn to come off. I loosened it then hit it with a rubber mallet a couple times to break it off. Then I applied some grease on the face of the new one hoping the next time they need replaced it will be a little easier.

    thanks for the input

    I bought some from Pep Boys today. They only had 1 instock and had to get the other from another store. I just got done changing the drivers side. Took less then an hour, was pretty easy. The old one had seen better days for sure. With any luck I will get the other one tomorrow.
