Default Rear Wheel bearing/hub

Mixed feelings about this but some people say its ok to run ebay rear wheel hub/bearing assembly. I ordered and replaced my front ones with koyo ones and now need to sort out the rears. What do you guys think?

I saw these but I'm not sure.

IMHO Since the rears are soooo much easier to replace than the fronts, it's worth a shot.

Don't. Fake wheels are one thing but shitty fake bearings are another. I guess because they're eBay(don't know much I'm from nz we dont use ebay much) they'll be Chinese. You want your wheel bearings to last 150,000km plus so pay a bit extra and get Koyo, Asahi, NTN


I work for SAECOWilson we're a national bearing and linear motion supplier and Chinese bearings are a nightmare.

If you're going to buy cheaper Hubs/bearings, at least get them from a local auto parts store so you can take them back if they are crap. Even the cheapest ones ($40-50 at advanced auto) come with a 1 year replacement. And the Moog's have a 3 year warranty for $70 each. OEM is ~$110 each.

I called my local autozone and the cheapest they sell is 89.99 for one. I figured some budget guy must have tried these before. I'll go with koyos since that's what I have up front.

4 options from $40 to $70. Not sure where they got the $90 from...

And make sure you get the right one! The ones for the wagon are different from the rest (or so the part #'s say).

Finally looked at your link and noticed that that is the price each, it might not be worth the expense to experiment. You can get Moogs for not too much more.

Moogs are $70 each, and would be my personal choice. Close to half the price of OEM, and probably just as good.

Even cheaper Moog hubs, $53.62 no tax, free shipping.
