I own a 04 gp gt. The left front wheel bearing is going bad. I changed my lim gasket and right after that I have this stupid abs problem. When I stop my abs kicks in when I am almost to a dead stop.
So I decided since I have a bad wheel bearing ill fix that first and hope that fixes my problem. I am not getting any codes or lights.

At autozone they have a duralast and a timkin for sale. The timkin is like $300 and the duralast is. Like 140

I found the same model number timkin online at amazone.com for anout 124.plus shipping.
Only thing is I don't know if it will have a warrenty.
Advanced auto parts has some real cheap. There's is only $107. Its made by drive works.

So does brand matter? Or price? Should I ask autozone to match the duralast price with the drive works?
Some advice on brands and price would help me out a lot.
Thanks
 


Timken all the way! Don't bother with the cheap ones. Not even worth the effort of installing them.
 
yea id either spend the money on timken or buy the cheapest ebay ones you can find to get you by so you can buy the timken later lol. if you find timken ones at another regular parts store, your autozone should match it just fine as well...wont match online only prices though...
 


buy timkens. they can be had at rockauto.com for 90 bucks, SAME timken part and part number that autozone has for a million dollars.
 
I have an Advance Commercial account so I'm well taken care of.. I will often use their National brand. But a wheel hub is 1/2 mile to the store or delivered and about 20 minutes most of the time. SKF and Timken are the most preferred though.
