Wheel bearings OEM vs aftermarket

[Frank818]

Is it true that aftermarket bearings are better quality than OEM ones?

I remember reading something a while back but can't find that web page again!

What I usually do, is open them apart , clean them properly with spirit wather, and repack them with a good sintetic hight temp grease, this helps alot...

Typically the oems are better. But ive had no issues using timkins moogs.

I used all OEM for my rebuild, not expecting any issues as these cars are +1,000 lighter than the WRX
