Going to replace my front wheel bearings soon. These are the parts I came up with:

Timken HA590027 Wheel Hub from autopartswarehouse 240 shipped for both

Or I can get the oem ones from infiniti for about 315 shipped for both.
Is it worth it to spend extra for the oem or are the timken ones good enough? Any actual performance difference?

And I am also going to be replacing the front lower arm bushings and compression bushings at the least. Any other ones I should consider?

For the bushings I can't decide if I should get whiteline or energy suspension. From what I understand, and I am not sure that I am right, the whiteline bushings have more NVH compared to energy. Reducing noise and having a better ride is important to me.

I was also researching replacing the fuel damper but couldn't find a good diy. Does anyone know if its too hard to do? Labor from couple shops is around 30-40 so I wouldn't mind paying a shop.

To summarize,

1. Wheel bearing - oem or timken?
2. Any other bushings I should replace?
3. Whiteline or energy for lesser NVH?
4. Fuel damper?

Thanks!!

 

Bump?
