Re: Best source for new front wheel bearings.

I'd go with best price on the bearings. Quality of the install probably matters much more than make of the goods.

Strut mounts will have to come from Subaru, I believe.

Timken for wheel bearings are pretty good quality. I have them installed on my 1995 SVX and no problems/issues whatsoever.

Also this. Check rockauto.com to find the part number and then it to find the best price.
