I need my wheel bearing changed in my 98, since it seems they go out a lot is there someone that makes heavy duty ones or is the stock one as good as it gets?

I also thought that 00 si wheel bearings are the same as type r ones, is this correct?

thanks in advance

 

There's no normal reason for you to have this be a frequent problem. Use the stock ones - they aren't expensive. If you need to replace frequently, I'd start checking for the real cause of the problem.

I'd also change the other side while you are at it. You've already got the tools out.

Brake heat kills bearing grease But even then, you ought to get a pretty long life out of them.
