    How long have you had these? I might be looking at another bearing replacement (did mine 60k ago and starting to get rumblings again). Crazy that they are half the cost for a pair compared to every other option...

    Anyone doing the bearing/hub repair yourself you can pick up a decent Husky 250lb torque wrench at homedepot for @ $80. Worth it to know you have them torqued to the right specs.

    It'll be interesting to see how they last. The very first review on Amazon is from a guy who said he made it about a hundred yards down the street before his failed in a big way. The only replacement bearing / hub kits I'm interested in are ones that last at least as long as OEM. Most of the Amazon and eBay ones are made with very cheap (generally Chinese) components.

    Interesting...my mechanics were suspicious too but really impressed when they saw them...they look and feel just like the OEM ones

    OME and worth every penny.
    Stuff from China is such a crap shoot, may get an item that would pass any spec. as OEM then next week order the same product and get 1 sourced from somewhere else.

    I wish you all the luck in the world. Having spent 36 years in manufacturing though, I've seen my share of Chinese knock offs. Some of them look pretty darn impressive. Unfortunately, it's not the things you can see (in a hub& bearing assembly) that matter. The company I used to work for got burned so many times by Chinese manufacturers that I lost count.
