Where do you get your good quality wheel bearings, races and seals from? I know Napa has good quality parts, but do they make the best?

Autozone sells TImken. IMO they are the best. tHey are made in the USA. OE supplier.

A friend that races stock car and another races dragsters use more extensive stuff to race with but both use Napa stuff on their other vehicals...

Napa is good stuff. I would only go for the best if they don't cost much more. Your bearings get a lot of abuse from 4x4ing. Foreign matter will destroy the best bearings as well as good bearings.
 
The key is to buy MADE in the U.S.A. ONLY!!!! make sure the race and bearing are stamped with USA. oh and use National Seal for the seal!!

I had a 14BFF that would leak with anything but GM seals. I've run nationals in my other 14BFF with no problems though. If you have the time, I would order the GM seals.
