Default hub bearings

well i need to replace one of my hubs again. timken lasted 3 years. I was wondering if anyone has experiene with GMB bearings? I know timken is regarded as great but Ive read their quality has gone done a lot. I work for a autoparts store and the only timken we got says made in slovakia, and we arent carrying timken anymore. Im gonna buy from amazon now, and ive read GMB is pretty good. just want some opinions.

from the research(other people's reviews,comments and what not), i found that most would say MOOG. Found great deal on Amazon, so thats what i went with. Can't personally say though cause i've only been wheeling a couple times with them on. Also replaced the end axle u-joints with greasable ones while i was at it(they were a bit rusty looking). Can tell you that my wheels had never rolled so freely though...

Why not something from Awful Zone that carries a lifetime warranty? I did this on every thing I could when I had two XJ's. now i'm down to one, but the list of free lifetime warranty parts is pretty big. Especially wheel bearings, U joints, trackbars, water pumps.

Not many parts stores offer lifetime wheel bearings anymore. Usually 1 yr and 3 yr. If they did, lifetime would be the way to go
