Replacing front wheel bearing - confusing parts options - please advise
 

Hey guys, I'm hoping one of you more knowledgeable old farts can help me out here. :P

basically, I need to replace my front passenger wheel bearing, only it has to be the entire hub assembly because Mazda hates us.

So, I am checking Rock Auto, and there are three options, shown here

Notice how the Timken says (non stability control) on the thumbnail page?

I'm really just wondering what that means, since it looks like all three are pretty much identical with varying degrees of quality manufacturing. All three seem to have the connector for ABS/Traction hookup, but why is it showing the Timken as Non-SC compatible, even though reading the parts description shows that it is

"with integrated sensing technology for anti-lock braking systems, total traction control and vehicle dynamics systems."

What gives? anyone have any advice which I should go with?

I'm looking to get similar to OE quality, I just want it to be safe and legit again :icon_tup:

some peace of mind would be great so I can order and install this bitch already. thanks in advance! :wavey:

and sorry about hugemongous pictures, don't have time to edit post print screen right now.

I think either is fine but you may want to call the manufacture or check their particular site first to be sure a lot of this stuff is wrong for the RX-8.

I would order the Beck Arnley from Advance Autoparts and use the TRT41 promo code for $40.00 off. It has a 3 year replacement warranty.

^^ did some snooping and apparently there are different units for DSC, and they happen to cost about 300 fucking dollars.... FMFL seriously??! I thought DSC was standard on 8s.
