Getting constant rear wheel bearing groan on the below listed 2007 Buick Lacrosse. Sounds like right rear and will take the time to check out in the garage shortly. Vehicle has 50k on it with new struts on all four put on last year. Will replace both sides. Am reaching out for recommendations likely using Rockauto.
Am seeing a large number of name brands with varied range in price.
Thanks.

I looked at what is available. Except for the AC Delco, they all look like aftermarket hub units.
How long are you planning on keeping the car? Have you looked into OEM from the dealer? They are typically the best quality and longest lasting.
I have used the ECCPP brand from Amazon several times for different vehicles. Very affordable and can find free shipping with Prime membership if you belong. If not, perhaps a neighbor or co-worker has a membership and can order for you. Most reviews have been very good. I have never had any go bad that I have purchased.
The ones on my son's Rendezvous (known for going thorugh bearings) have been on for about 50000 miles now with no problems. I had replaced both fronts for him.
Here is a pair of them for $75.99

SKF has excellent bearing hubs and the pricing seems very good on Rock for those. Which engine do you have, the 3.6 or the 3.8? Probably better than the oem ones.
Thanks for the input. I do have PRIME. I have already replaced the left front with AC Delco via Rockauto.
The vehicle is a 2007 with the Series 3 3800 @ only 50k. Amazed with the amount of work put in to keep it running quiet. Struts, brakes, emissions parts. Glad I have acquired the skills for DIY. The costs for replacement parts are much lower than paying for a new vehicle and or payments.
I do most of my own vehicle maintenance so I especially enjoy members with 3800s posting their endeavors going down the trail with replacing plastic elbows and intake manifold gaskets and the like. Been there.
Again thanks. If further, pile it on. I’ll reason through the input for my choice.

SKF is very good but there are lots of NOS Timken around for these and they are also top shelf. Rock has lower prices but shipping cost.

Just a followup post to the original 12/6/17 post. Putting the cheap mechanic's stethoscope to the culprit hub verified the needed change.
Completed the R&R of the passenger rear ABS wheel bearing hub. Purchased the SKF from Rockauto as recommended. Maybe a hour to change including a good brass wire clean out of the housing and applied dielectric grease to seal the ABS connection from the elements. Slammed out the studs from the old hub and bagged and tagged for possible future need.
Wheel now quiet. Thanks for the replies.
