Is this an absolute rip off or what? Are front wheel bearings really this much for my car? I saw ones for 60 a pop with the sensor on them and the only part store nearby wirh them in stock is charging close to 300. Thoughts? I want them to last a long time but not entirely sure if the bearing quality is typically negligible or rather large in difference.

Other for reference

Try RockAuto. As long as the bearing itself is a Koyo or Timken (rebranded Koyo), you'll be fine.

Those are also not your drive wheel bearings so they deal with way less stress than ones that are on the drive wheels. They should last a long long time.

Thanks a lot. Car started shaking pretty bad on one side and have a lift in my dad's garage and sure enough was the bearing. Already replaced the bad one but dad restores old cars for a living and says i should replace both at the same time. Just trying to get the best deal since it seemed pretty steep for just a bearing

I'd just go for this. If it were a drive wheel I'd go for the nicer stuff but even the cheap ones last forever on non drive wheels.

Yeah that's about right. I had a driver side front (FWD) bearing go bad and I replaced it with a generic AutoZone one. Other front one went bad and I got a Koyo/Timken one. Shortly after that the AutoZone one went bad so I learned to stick with the OEM brands when it comes to drive wheel bearings. Both my rears are most likely original to the car and I've not had a single issue in the two and a half years I've driven it. That's around 70k miles.

Those ones you are replacing are just bolt in so it's no big deal. The drive wheel ones are usually pressed in. That's when it's a real bitch.

emissions part went out in my car, $30 +shipping from Rock Auto vs driving down the street to O'Reilleys and paying $51+tax for the exact same OEM part.

Appreciate the help anon. Will definitley check rockauto for this and future part purchasing. Seems like the toyota mr2 parts are pretty expensive on other sites but after looking at rock auto it doesn't seem too bad. All depends on where you look i suppose
>>
>>17772087
Yeah my parts purchasing usually goes like this.

>find the part on RockAuto
>search that part number on Amazon and eBay for potential savings
>buy used on eBay if it's not a high wear item that just broke out of nowhere
>>

>Those are also not your drive wheel bearings so they deal with way less stress than ones that are on the drive wheels

This is nonsense. Front wheel bearings normally go first as those are the leading edge onto or into any obstructions and take diagonal strain from steering.
>>
>>17772116
That's just my assumption at least. Though I'm betting they would last longer on a mid engine car like OP's.

>less weight
>no axle going through them

Since it's just a bolt in one it's not really a major problem like the press in ones.

shit, for $270 I can get OEM bearings for my Q45, but aftermarket is only $70
