You get what you pay for. At $350.00 labour per side to change inner
front axle bearings, 'I' would pay for the 'best' ones I could find,
same for the seals.

As far as the hub bearings go, same deal. They are sealed units that
only come with a hub. The 'machine shop' labour to replace these would
run more than even expensive bearings cost.

If cheap hub bearings fail, your front wheel simply falls off. No
thanks, it isn't fun at all to have a front wheel fall off at 60 mph....
