Where to buy front wheel bearings?

[Taylor3180]

I just had new tires put on the car and the mechanic says which I already knew I need new front wheel bearings. So I was curious where I could get these for cheap. I realize it is a whole assembly I will be purchasing. Has anyone ever ran these on there car?

And is it even worth it? Just seems like every time you do something to your car your money goes to another part of the car. But I wouldn't trade it for the world.

No, Buy them OEM.

JNZ Tuning carries them at about 20-25% less than the dealer.

I would not trust a $54 hub bearing on my car.

Dont go cheap on a part that keeps you alive!

Again, those are cheap. Your bearings are a key part of the car. You can cheap out on some things but those I would not suggest being one of them.

You will do what you will do though. My last hub setup from Mitsu, stock, lasted 132,000 miles. I expect the new ones I put in on all four corners to last the same.

Quality comes at a price.
