i work at autozone depending on the car we carry timken's (best) duralast, valucraft, and fenco dynapacks

and believe me our commercial customers like our valucraft better than the dynapacks they have had no problems with the valucrafts (i havent put mine on yet but ill let you know when i do)

I just got my Timken bearings in from autobarn.com on Monday. Free shipping, took a week to get them. Advance Auto is the only parts store in my town and they don't carry them, and the nearest Autozone is 45 minutes away (and they were also more expensive than autobarn.com).

Timken for just under $95 a piece at www.rockauto.com . Should take 3-4 days to get.

I used autobarn because they were $92 each, free shipping, and also a $10 off discount code.
