    There are a lot of big bearing companies NSK SKF federal mogul etc if you want to get caught up in that not a problem what's your paying for those hubs there the 136 and the 108 shoot I paid 63 or something like that I've had no problems put them in Yaris. Prii other rollas . Think I've had a few go out you know and 100K or 89 or 90 I keep my cars that long so going through $300,000 is not something that slips my mind easily I know how many hubs I've had on my car. How many lower control arms ball joints etc I've never seen anything like the failures of the inverter pump. That to me is unreal I've replaced four of those suckers in I don't know just under two years of owning this whole car unbelievable hard to imagine and if I paid the $79 from the dealer it's going to net me much more. Time . Like the water pumps with the rubbed off logo I'm supposed to believe those are seconds or they just have to be scraped off to be sold off whatever the few electronic components in most of these things I mean you have to be really superior inferior like stuff made out of paper clips and foil.

    Since Nathan asked, and wheel bearings are one of my all time favorite topics.....

    Summary:
    Buy wheel bearings DIRECTLY FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP.




    Long Version...
    Simple question:

    How many wheel bearings on brand new vehicles from Toyota, Honda, MB, GM, or Ford fail within 50K miles?
    How about 75K miles?
    How about 100K miles?

    Note, time and possible abuse (car in flood waters), are other possible causes of failure.


    Part Two:
    Same question, now for any wheel bearing not bought directly from a Dealership.


    Part Three:
    Your Money Belong To Us!
    (A paraphrase from an old video game, with a bad translation.)


    Part Four:
    !Counterfeiting is EXTREMELY profitable!
    Interweb, TV, News Paper, Face-what every, Tic-what ever, preventing people from buying Counterfeit Products??
    !LMAO!


    Fwiw, by buying a single ticket, you're more likely to win MegaBucks, than you are to buy a non-fake wheel bearing from ANYONE other than the Dealership.

    Please re-read the above sentence, until it's permanently burned into your retinas.
    Literally, your life may depend on it!

    Last:
    Do not get PO'd at me.
    I'm not the one screwing people.
    In fact, news agencies, myself, others, and so on, have been preaching about how Counterfeit parts screw people, and kill people, for decades.
    Feel free to Google, until you realize that I was correct about my summary above.


    Good Luck!
