I need to replace the inner bearing on my left front. My question is are bearings like rotors? Should I go ahead and just do both the left and front inner and outter?

I'm leaning towards doing both the inner and outter on the left anyway, mostly because it was either done incorrectly the last time or the bearings were crap. The inner bearing isn't all that worn looking except for the broken ridge in it. Both the inner and outter were made by Timken and are stamped made in the USA so I doubt they are OE.

I can get just an inner bearing from Fastlane
~$18 made by NTN
~$15 made by FAG/FTE

Or I can get a set of both inner and outter, plus a new cap and seal for ~$36 made by SKF.

I don't know jack about bearing manufacturers. I also don't which of those manu's are the OE or OEM if any.

Any thoughts?
