Hi

Yes, I always look for FAG but they about double. I also have heard that SKF are good.

Time will tell how long these cheaper bearings will last (so long as the right bolts are used).
I have also been fitting the extra seal 9492980 that sits between the knuckle and the CV joint, packed with grease. About £3 and I think it will really help protect the bearing from water and grit.

I have done a few front wheel bearings recently. If you are rebuilding the strut tower, control arms, doing a CV joint, and doing a full brake job, possibly rebuilding a caliper, the bearing is just a small part!
