I heard Timken is OK. Got one at RockAuto for about $168 shipped. Some say the popping can be the CV shafts.... they are easy to change out too. Just not sure how to tell which is making the noise...the CV or the Hub..

I actually rotated my tires and 99% of my noise went away....Can't tell you why that seemed to work!!!???

Its a tough thing to diagnose over the net. best way to check is to get all four of your tires up off the ground then spin the wheels. put your hand on the upper control arm while the tire is spinning and feel for any roughness, also shake the tire up and down and see if there is any play in the bearing at all. if there is its time to replace. there should be absolutely no play in the bearing. a lot of things can cause a popping or grinding feeling/sound in the vehicle. c.v. joints, tire cupping, control arm bushings, even your rock shield on the bottom sometimes can flex while turning and cause a popping noise. Timken is a decent brand although personally on parts like that I prefer O.E.M. unless there is a clear upgrade available. I wish I could say that I know there is on the hubs but Ive used aftermarket ones on customers vehicles and no such luck. I have never tried the Kryptonite hubs though.

I rotate the tires too and the noise went away Or at least I thought so for a day

The problem is actually while driving around 45-60 mph , no when turning .

Also a few day ago I heard a chirp when in reverse with the wheels turn to the passenger

Im going to test like H2cane said to try to identified the problem before buying parts ... I dont know what else to see .
I did check the mounts , the exhaust , the shield , balance and rotate tires but no luck

The bump can be felt through the floor . It is intermittent

Only I can do is keep guessing
