Wheel bearings
So I noticed I have a bit of play when I move a couple of my wheels back and forth. Was wondering where you all suggest to get wheel bearings to replace the old ones or a specific brand. I have a S5 turbo if it makes any difference. I know they'll probably be in the ballpark of about $40-60 per pair. That's fine, and I'll find a manual/guide on how to replace them unless there is a certain tool that I can't get my hands on to allow me to do it.
Of course cost efficiency would be nice but if it's going to cost me for quality, I'm all for that as well. Thanks

If it's the fronts, you can just repack them and adjust the play. If it's the rears, then they're sealed units and must be replaced. Timken is the absolute best aftermarket brand, and national makes a really good bearing as well. I've used both, and have never had one come back. Tinmen has the best reputation to back it up, buti wouldn't be worried about National ever going bad on you (and they're usually much cheaper).
