Front Hub Bearings

My 02 Ranger is due for some new front wheel hub bearings again. I've checked online and I see a wide range of prices. I know that it's pricey to begin with but what I want to know is there a particular brand of bearing that is head and shoulders above the other in quality. I don't mind paying the bigger bucks for a dang good part.
The repair history is mixed on this. Some have lasted much longer then others but I don't know what brand was put in.

Timken is by far one of the best for Hub/bearings.

If Moog Made hubs. (they might, i don't know off the top of my head) they'd be a good brand too.

Thanks,
I had seen where Moog made these and available from Advanced Auto for about $175.00 a copy, a big difference. Moog always made great stuff before but since so many things being outsourced to China nowadays I wasn't sure if they'd be OK.

I got a pair of Timkens for a good price from AM Autoparts - After Market Auto Parts - Headlights, Mirrors, and More but compare prices from other online places.

I've had great luck with National, Timken and SKF.

Can’t gop wrong with Timkins. good product, good rep.

Check on Lifetime Warranty replacement, pay the price and never buy another hub.
