Where to buy front wheel bearings?

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?

eBay Motors: 95-05 Mitsubishi Eclipse Galant Frt Hub Wheel Bearing (item 220249646135 end time Jul-03-08 11:56:28 PDT)

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.
