Default Wheel Bearings

I'm getting ready to replace my front wheel bearings. I'm just wondering if anyone has any recommendations on brands. Thanks

Get a recognized name brand such as Timken or SKF - run, Forrest, run from anything branded as Pronto!

Why are you replacing them? Did you neglect them? What exactly is wrong with them, and how did it happen? If you don't fix THAT, the new ones will just fail again, and it won't matter what brand they are.

I did the ball joints on my truck. I noticed the seals were bad and I was getting a little noise from the front. Everything else is good up front i replaced all the bushings with energy suspension poly bushings.
