2002 V70 front wheel bearings

This year I've replaced both front wheel bearings with Raybestos parts. One was bad out of the box and the other is at least bad now, who knows for how long. I was trying to avoid paying a lot for parts since money is tight right now. What is the best part to get at this point?

Does anyone know of a better deal than this? Lifetime house warranty.

FAG is good. SKF is OEM.

Thanks for that info. I can't find a SKF front for my car though, just rear.

So get the FAGs. I've seen only good reviews for FAG.

Used original part from a respected Ebay seller would be another option. Ask if it turns perfectly smooth.

It looks quite good

I've done two of these and could not feel a difference in turning from the noisy old bearing and the new.

This is not a place I would use a used part bunt at least buy one from a dry climate. No idea how you spec that other than lack of rust
