Wheel bearing time

I have a bad wheel bearing and need to get a new one. Does anyone know my best option? The dealer just quoted me $212+.

Order one up from FCP, or eeuroparts and do it yourself.
Not a tough job, just need a large torx male socket to remove.
Front or rear?
Then again.... eeuroparts has the part for 120.00, and FCP is selling OE for 190.00

I want to keep the car for 10 more years so I want a good one. I have to do it myself so the issue is getting a good one.

I went with TRW from advance - lifetime warranty. Had it on the car for just under a year and have no issues to report with it.

I think i have 1 *** (3 years)and 1 Napa (1 year) brand on the other side. No problems so far, but definitely buy new inverse torx head bolts, because they won't look too good after.
