I'm about to do my brakes and I decided to do my bearings too.
I know I need them because it make that noise when turning steering wheel both ways

If anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it thanks

I don't know about Timken but there aren't many issues reported with OE bearings.

Well if Timken is sold by a national parts dealer and is LLT, I'd go with Timken.

No problem with Timken, but what makes you believe it's the wheel bearings, especially when you say that the noise is audible when you turn the steering wheel? Wheel bearings are heard when spinning each wheel or worn excessively when there is play in the bearing itself, indicated by wheel wobble.

I say it's bearings because is like a vibe that u could feel more at slower speeds like 15-20 mph and when fast like highway is more of a noise

If they are that bad as to cause a vibration then you'd be able to feel the play in the wheel bearing and/or hear some abnormal sounds when the assembly is raised and the wheel is spun or rocked back and forth. In a pinch you can raise the front end, put it in gear and see if you can duplicated the noise as you accelerate slightly.
Just trying to make certain you need the bearings before spending the money.

Go with the Timkens, they're pretty much top-of-line in the bearing industry.

X2 ^^^^ And been around longer than Acura and most the Japanese bearing makers.

I have to check if there's play but is there always play when they go bad ??

I hate cars

Usually bearing noise will get louder when you turn the wheel one direction and almost go away when you turn it the other. What do the tires look like?

If you feel a wobble at low speeds you should be able to jack your front end up and feel the play in the wheel itself. What size wheels are you on?
