Best place to buy wheel bearings?

[CalixEros]

Well I need all 4 wheel bearings replaced. Where's the best (cheapest) place to buy the parts from? I also need all new brakes (pads and rotors, although some could probably be turned); I imagine Autozone is one of the best places to buy them. Thanks for your input.

NAPA is the best when it comes to aftermarket (cheaper) parts, but Autozone is ok. I always find their stuff cheap (as in quality). Anyhow, NAPA, Autozone, Advance Auto Parts - all good places to shop around.

If you have some time, order some Timkins off FordPartsNetwork.

Timkin bearings are the best.

Are FPN's Timken bearings? I was finally able to get on their network a few minutes ago when I searched on this site and found they changed their name to Fast Parts Network. Thanks for the advice guys.

Yes they are Timken from FPN.

NAPA is good for hard to find stuff, sometimes. There employees also seem to be a bit more knowledgeable. However, they are ALWAYS the most expensive of all the major parts stores.

I used to use Advance, but a combination of corporate policy changes, and very bad service from several local stores has cuased me to now avoid them like the plague.

I've been going to Autozone for a few years now, and as long as I deal with the right few people, I'm pretty happy with them. Unfortunately, they do seem to have a propensity for hiring idiots, with bad attitudes. Oddly enough, the local Autozone also has 2 transvestites/transsexuals (men dressed/acting as women):scratch:
