The cheapest way to get them is to find a local bearing house, and take a front and rear wheel bearing in to them. They can match up the exact size with a ceramic bearing. You'll save a lot of money going directly to the distributor.

I think we went down this road before....

But....
Are you running full ceramics? or Hybrids?
Are you blessed with decent roads? or do you navigate / ride over and through potholes and expansion joints on a daily basis.

Is this still the first set you installed? Thats what, more than a year now of use,,,? or has it been longer?

"worth it" is a very subjective thing.... would I do it again? yes, but I am a chronic OCMD case too
