Don't buy the really cheap ones though, go for branded ones like Timken or SKF.

Don't talk to me about wheel bearings, having had all 4 go in the space of about 6 months it can become very expensive, esspecially as one of the front ones did a fine job of wrecking most of the rest of the hub at the same time :cry:
