Question Which rear wheel bearing kit?

I found the SKF rear wheel bearing kits on Rock Auto for about $81 each + shipping.
https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...&jsn=__GIX__32__




Jagbits has (stated) new OE kits for about $57 each with free shipping.
Jaguar WHEEL BEARING & SEAL KIT, REAR - JLM1708-OE


I need two rear kits.


Do you know who makes the OE bearings, and do you think is the SKF kit worth the extra money? For some reason I though SKF made at least the differential bearings, but I could be mistaken.

If you plan on keeping your car for a long time, get the SKF.

I contacted Jagbits and the set on the website consists of Powertune Bearings. They offer SKF kits for the same price. The SKF kits just aren't on the website yet, so indicate you want SKF bearings in the comments section. I ordered two SKF sets from Jagbits for just under $113 shipped.

Default I used Timken from Rock

SET45 inner (set)
LM503349A (bearing)
LM503310 (race)

Seals I used the Beck/Arnley
0523740 (inner)
0523407 (outer)

$84 for everything, shipped

But if I do another I'd get different seals. Probably from Jag
