Get the good ones, not the cheap $5 junk that the hardware store sells.
Pack 'em good w/wheel bearing grease. This is a maintenance item that should be done ever year for a heavily used machine.
I usually place a "dam" of grease inside the hub before seating the bearings.
Get a few shims the correct size for the outer race to get rid of any slop you may have (in and out) when installed. Machine bushings they are called, get the thinnest ones you can find, usually come in different thicknesses. These you can find at the hardware store.
Nothing beats a Cub w/nice tight steering!!
