Question I'd like your opinion on wheel bearings please.

So, I am on a hunt for front wheel bearings to replace my worn 9 year old bearings on my 2000 XJ. I recently put 31" tires on and I guess my bearings are throwing in the towel. I was looking for the best deal on a set of Timken bearings when I came across these...

Does anybody have any experience with these GMB bearings?? They have a life time guarantee and they are ridiculously cheap at only $42.99 per side. But are they worth anything or are they crap??

If you were replacing your front wheel bearings. What brand would you want?

Also, what do you guys think of National Brand bearings?? Any good??

Thanks for your input guys.

That is a good price. I've seen them in upwards of 140 buck at the parts stores. GMB is a good brand, Timken is good, but over priced IMO.
