    Hey Everybody, All the best answers come from people who have "already done it" if you know what I mean....
    So I turn to you and ask : My wheel bearings in the front are bad, well one is, I would assume going in to do it, I should go for both sides.... but what brands are good, and bad?? I will probably get them from e-bay, They start @ about $70 on there, and Part Source quoted me $213 today... so ya, what is good better and best? Thank's to all!!

    This brand comes with lifetime warranty... how often do you replace wheel bearings? I bought this car with 243xxx km on it, and I now have over 303xxx on it, It runs awsome, and I am trying to fix it all up. Is the extra money worth it for the " lifetime " warranty??

    I got mine from ZZP...I know, I know I bash them all the time but I did mine about a year after I bought my GTP and the driver side still has the factory hub...my passenger one took a crap from all the one-wheel wonders on the street If the other one has no play in it I don't see a reason replacing it...I'd wait till it goes bad IMO because I have heard of non-factory hubs going bad at random so it is up to you man.

    says one year warranty on the zzp site. and I know some ppl love and some hate zzp, but they screwed me around 2 out of 3 times.... thats enough for me to not waste my time (and money) on them.
