Wheel Bearing Assembly Options on Ebay - KOYO
Looking for advice to replace my wheel bearings on my 2004 Lexus GX470. From what I've read the best way to replace the wheel bearing on these trucks yourself is to buy a pre-assembled hub assembly unit, which includes a new hub and bearing pressed together.
I'm trying to find the best pricing without sacrificing quality (makes sense right). I know I want to stick to a KOYO branded bearing or Timken from my research here. Now ebay has several options, I found a seller who is offering a pair of 2 assembled units with KOYO bearings for $288.00 shipped. Blue Pit Bearings sells these for $279.00 a piece, and other sellers on ebay are selling them for $185-$205 per assembly. I would much rather purchase from an enthusiast / small business than a mass volume supply store but when it's a savings of $270.00 for both I'm leaning towards the savings.
I'm not sure if ebay links are allowed here but for reference: http://www.ebay.com/itm/262083705006?item=262083705006&frommaketrack=true&viewitem=&vxp=mtr
I contacted the seller and he replied within minutes and confirmed they are KOYO OEM quality bearings. This is the cheapest I've found a pair of KOYO bearing + Dorman Hub assemblies for and wanted to reach out to clublexus to see if you guys have purchased these and what your impression / results were.
Thanks!

He sells for $175 a piece. I have bought two from him. not only is his stuff super high quality, but his customer services is really good too. highly recommended.
And yes, he uses timken. I know this because he used the timken boxes to fill some voids in his shipping container.
