Both of those stores are the same in quality parts as each other. They will both last about the same time.

get one with a lifetime replacement plan. Thus when the other side bearing goes, you can say it was the previous one you just bought and get it replaced.

Good idea, just as long as the part numbers aren't different for each side.

Not exactly honest. I must say low ethics and very poor judgment. Next time keep those sort of comments to yourself. I like to consider jeepers honest folks not dishonest.

Buy the ones from advance, those are probably National brand made in USA (or if they arnt then the National's are a few dollars more), while autozone is probably duracrap made in china... You can buy the cheap ones form advance also, but is something like a wheel bearing really worth penny pinching? I am very anti-autozone... hence the reason I have a tier 4 commercial account at Advance lol

Go on ebay. I just bought both sides from a bearing manufacturer in North Caroilna for $91.50 for both sides with a life time warranty. They were$36.99 each plus 12.74 shipping.
