Where to find best price on front wheel bearing/hub?

I am replacing my front wheel bearings/hub assy and i am trying to find the best price. I honestly dont care if its a mitsu brand part as the stock ones did not last very long. Any ideas? the best I have found so far is $125 each shipped

Amazon, the brand is Timken, I have personally used in big rigs and they are also used in aerospace. Should be fine for the evo, especially when the stock ones dont last anyway.

My $125 wheel bearings just came in from amazon. Yes that $125 shipped, and they are the same brand bearing as the stock mitsu. They use koyo bearings. So save your bucks and go amazon

Which Timken p/n? I found this on Summit Racing, but guessing you picked up the entire assembly.

I thought you had to buy the whole assembly and not just the bearing?

Also, the mitsu tech at my dealer told me the noise i heard was most likely not the bearing since he said he has never really seen any go bad. I think thats a load of crap cuz i know its my bearing making the noise/vibration.

I think I found the amazon one for $120 - http://www.amazon.com/Timken-513133-...2003&carId=001

Looking at the how to change: front wheel hub/bearing, it doesn't look like you need to replace the entire assembly. Looks like the hub pops right off (this is for the front)


So, looking at that photo and searching for hub assy/wheel bearing parts, looks like you should be able to replace the wheel bearing with this - http://www.amazon.com/Timken-512181-...2003&carId=001

I haven't done this yet, but seems logical, any thoughts?

I replaced mine with an OEM unit earlier this year. Was around $120 for the hub/bearing assembly, and came with new studs pre-installed. Also the best time to install ARP extended studs if you're lookign to do it.
