I just went with Moog wheel bearings a few weeks ago. Really solid pieces, definitely recommend them! Got them off rockauto. Part number 512153, they were 130 each.

Thanks for the comeback. Already got mine (Timken's ) in from Rock Auto and Left Rear is replaced and car is quiet again. ;-) Will do the Right Rear at a later date.

As Ive often said.. " I can not afford to buy anything too cheap. " its a life's lesson.
eBay is ok for some things but not precision bearings.
Rock auto is a good resource.
Moog and Timken are quality bearings.
My only thought is the factory bearings are very good. Easily can see 200K without issue unless there was an issue.. . hitting a curb, a deep pot hole, adding wheel spacers etc.
Glad you are good to go now

Started as a humming in the rear of the car. Put the car up on jack stands and started it , put it in gear and listen with a stephascope . Really heard it then. The bad front was the killer. Been having a light vibration in the front at 80 to 100 mph. Could not detect anythiing with the bearing on that end. Even changed tires and a few balance jobs chasing that problem. When changing the backs , decided to just change the fronts also. The front end problem was gone. Had to be one of the bearings causing it. Course the car had over 100 K miles on it.

My issue stared a week after I replaced the rotors with the brakemotive set. It started a squealing noise that is timed on a rotation somehow. As I rose in speed it got worse and as I slowed down it got slower. Suspension tech took the rear driver wheel off and checked everything but all was well. Put the rear up on stands and got in and put in drive and guess what? No noise. So it's like it needs a load on it. First we're going to take off the rotor and put the stock rotor on and if it stops then apparently it's the rotor. But if it doesn't stop then our other assumption could be the hub assembly. What do yal think?
