Default Looking for a part

I need to replace both of my front wheel bearings. Can someone link me to some parts that are known to be good quality and heavy duty. I don't want to go online and buy some parts and them turn out to be garbage. It's an 06 SS.
Thanks for the help

Find the Timken Brand for your year. Should be pretty decently priced on Amazon.com (usually they sit around $90)

Great quality hubs.

Thank you. I was looking at rock auto and found timken ones for 96 bucks. I guess those will be the ones I'm going with.

I support the use of Timken! I used them on my Grand Am, my wife's Impala and my Monte. Zero issues, good reputation and I am certain all their products are made in the USA!

I would not suggest timken. We have had 20+ failures in our shop. We use National bearings now.

Granted, it's been a couple of years since I've had to look up parts in a catalog, but has the industry changed? Timken/National used to be one and the same company. Timken was the bearing brand and National was the seal brand. I'm confused.

IMO Timken is top shelf for bearing replacement. If Timken aren't available then my second choice would be SKF.

Timken, SKF, and original ACDelco are the only 3 names I hear in EVERY thread with the words Quality.
