By "wheel bearing" I am thinking you mean the hub bearing and if so.......

The one below is on eBay (part number 515058) and cost $105.00 but does not show "National" as the brand name on it as the Rock Auto Parts site one with the same part number (515058) for a higher cost of $230.79 does ????

Rock Auto does have Timken ones for $181.79 SP580310

NAPA wants $304.00 for their BRG BR930416

GM Parts Direct has OEM 15946732 for $291.70

HUMMER-PARTS.COM wants $275.88 plus S&H for theirs. Should be OEM.

Your call I guess. Myself, I'd go with OEM or NAPA but that is just me and others may have other opinions on it.

Good luck, Ed

maybe to help the OP out here, and to answer my questions...


which ones are the better brand name ones?

any of them you would pick out for obvious reasons? better material, better for 4x4-ing or ???

Just buy one that has the best warranty. Advance Auto used to carry them with a "lifetime warranty"

H2 are known for eating Hubs. If your budget allows just do both of them now and get it over with.

They will fail again I promise. Have no fear though cause its a pretty easy job though. With hand tools it should take no more than an hour to do. But you will need a long breaker bar and a good torque wrench. I think I did a "how to" thread on this a couple years ago.
