Wheel Bearing Replacement

I am looking at replacing my wheel bearings this weekend. What brand would you guys recommend? Where is best to get them?

x2 on Toyota. Are you sure they need to be replaced. I just did my front pads and rotors and my wheel bearings were in good shape so I just repacked them.

IF you need to replace them, then NTN, SKF or Timken are all good.

You can get them at most auto part or bearing places.

don't forget to get a 54mm socket so you can properly remove that huge-ass nut and properly torque everything when you put her back together. also remember to use the proper grease when you pack the bearings.
