When I replaced my noisy front hubs after buying a 140k XJ I figured well that's one job I won't have to do again. I took it to my mechanic as I thought it might be carrier bearings this time. Nope. PartsMaster Chinese hub bearings. 1 year warranty and it's 3 years and about 35k of largely highway miles. So I had them do it and use Chicago Rawhide hubs supposedly USA. Now hopefully it won't have to be done at 3 years again. I think they cost about 2x the China ones but at least we have a choice and subtracting labor and second set, are much cheaper.
