Looking for quality front wheel bearings for my 89 240. FCP Groten sells Ruvill bearings for $27.00. I have seen a set of Temkins for just under $10.00.
I know Volvo OEM's are considerably more and would consider them if theres a significant quality issue.

Volvo doesn't make their own bearings - they buy from bearing manufacturers and have their own numbers put on 'em (usually).

Timken was always a good bearing, but I don't have any recent experience with them. I've bought several sets from fcpgroton and they've given fine service.
