I've been noticing wheel bearing noise coming from the front right. No pulsing or shaking, yet, just a slight grinding noise. It's difficult to describe but I know a wheel bearing when I hear it lol.
My question is, I've done some research online and heard good things about MOOG, SKF, and Motorcraft Hub assemblies. I plan on replacing both sides while I'm at it. What's the best manufacturer for my buck? Quality and price wise. If it's SKF or Motorcraft I'll purchase them on RockAuto, SKF:$140, MoCo:$166. MOOG I can get at work for 108 a piece. I use MOOG and only MOOG on my 87 corvette and I have never had an issue.
Luckily this was not and never will be a nothern car. Lived in Florida all its life, in the garage too, so swapping them out should be a breeze.
I double checked the applications for 4WD and RWD, but my source is not all that descriptive. I'm 99% sure the 4WD and RWD use the same front wheel bearing but I'd like to confirm that?
