front wheel bearings

Post by michael schulte »

Does anyone out there have experience with either FAG or SKF front wheel bearings? If so, which make holds up the best? My repair guy keeps putting on "after market" and I have gone through 3 wheel bearings in 4 years. It`s time for me to buy the part myself. Thanks

OEMs' are made by FAG (to Volvo's spec).
