Repacking the bearings is putting new grease in your wheel bearings. Your wheel bearings allow your vehicle to roll. Some are sealed (not ours) some are not (ours). When I did mine I just scooped out the old grease with my hand and took a new big blob and put it in the center of the brake rotor. Then I packed it in the bearings. It would be much easier for understand if you get a Haynes manual. It's more of a visual thing. Also, if you plan on repacking the inner bearing, don't forget to go to the parts store and get a new inner wheel seal. There only like $2 but you don't want to try to reuse the old one in case it tears up.

Never buy anything that seems too good to be true. On suspension you never ever go cheap. 9 times out of ten something WILL go wrong or not install correctly.

Anyways, look at DJM, McGaughys, and Belltech. All quality kits.
