Going to need new ones for the D30...usually buy NAPA, they've got their cheaper ones for $120-ish and then the premiums for $200 and change. We've also got an autozone and carquest in town, any preference on rebuilders? any experience with the premiums vs cheapos?

I'm naturally inclined to spend $400 at NAPA, but if I've got a better option....

I don't have it off hand, but they were Timkens... It was almost exactly a year ago, it sounds like the price was just raised, too bad!

bummer. I hate to do it but I think I'm just going to have to buy based on price. I was hoping there was an assembly that holds up better than the others that might be worth picking up, but given how costly they are....

get teh Timkens, I tried to be cheap and got the house brand and in 1 month they were making noise! So luckly the cheapies were still under warranty so I traded the warranty of those in on some credit to the Timkens and they work great

cool, Timken's it is. I feel pretty good about their general product quality and the price is competitive....
