what brand of hub bearings are best
I am replacing the front hub bearing assembly and have access to Timkin or National brand bearings from RockAuto.....which is the better, if either?

Thanks for the help.

As long as they are built in the USA the bearings are good.Don't use off shore bearings.

I've used the Timkens on my old truck and the Nationals on my current truck. Both seem to be good quality.
