Best front hub/wheel bearings to buy?

[Samson]

It looks like I will be replacing mine (72k on 06). What are the best bearings to buy, if money is not a problem? I dont want to do this again for awhile so I want to do it right the 1st and hopefully last time.

Thank you for any help

Anything but ball bearings if you can avoid them for a long lasting change. Timken's roller bearing pressed into the "old" hub would be the best choice if you want high service lifetime.

Or you can go the whole hub way if you want it easier but it's much more expensive and useless in my opinion.



Edit:I wasn't sure about the parts # at first since I didn't change my own bearings yet...but after a little search, it appears that the ball bearing number from Timken for your front wheels is: 510058 and the roller bearing number from the same manufacturer is: Set49

I just replaced mine with Timken. It's the same thing that came with the car and they lasted me 120k miles (I'm assuming they're original). 510058 is what I put into my car and it's the same thing that came out. They say they're a ball bearing but they're more of a roller bearing. I still have the old one if you want a picture of what the insides look like.
