Who has taken that gamble and how are they lasting?

A year, IF your lucky. Unless you are getting rid of the car, don't do it.

Thanks. Thats what I'm finding. Looks like Timkens.

Yeah total waste of money, timkens are only 20 bucks more. I took a gamble once and never will again...

I also took that gamble and lost.

I have always used Timkens. On my second set in the Z. Just make sure you install the bearing seals. They help.

^ my 98 cavalier didn't come with them for some reason, I was kinda freaked out.

I would rather use junkyard hubs rather than the cheaper branded hubs found online or at teh local parts stores.

My last set of new Timkens lasted less than a year. They've been bought out and now do rebrands on wheel bearings.

National makes a good wheel bearing unit still, some parts stores carry them.

rockauto.com is your best friend, mine too.

I've used the "premium" auto parts brands, and the cheapo's, they are all garbage. Now I only just use delco's, and haven't had an issue since.

So... National or Timken? I'm about to order today!

Going with the Nationals I guess...

I cancelled my order. I'm seeing some differences in models. Can anyone tell me the right part number for the Timken front wheel bearing for the 95 base?
