Probably won't find cheaper than eBay. I found mine from eBay for about $40 or so and did local pick up. Go for it. |

Let me quickly share my experience with E Bay cheap Chinese wheel bearings.
I bought a set of them and did both my fronts as they were both bad. Mine had a 90 day warranty. Withing the first 60ish days one went out. It took a month, a prepaid third bearing to get my new one in. Threat of E Bay and Pay Pal action to get a refund on the replacement...
Then about 7 months later they started to go out. Being as mad as I was, I said F IT I will drive it until I absolutely MUST replace them. I got another 3-4 months out of them before the "death noises" happened.
Now Im rolling on SKF brand bearings. A HIGH QUALITY manufacturer. They come with a two year warranty also... Timken was only 1 year.
So if it goes out, I just take it up to the parts store and walk out with another one.
Cost me about $120 a pop but worth it. This isnt a job you want to do every few months!

Just let me tell you ebay is great on somethings but if you buy chaep part you get what you pay for.. Dont be cheap on something you need to have working correctly.. Just as i had a wheel fly off on my work truck due to the lack of greese in the wheel bearings.. So take ryan's story with ebay bearing..
Goto napa auto or O'Reiley's
