ebay hub and bearing kit any good?
sorry if this is in the wrong area.....

i need new wheel bearings on my 200 and i figured might as well change the hubs to be safe. i was looking on ebay and found these, 1991 1994 Nissan Sentra Front Wheel Hub Bearing and Seals Kit Sentra SE R B13 | eBay . just wondering will these things give me a decent life on a daily driven car. i know when i searched for just bearings theres a huge debate on timken vs everyone else so i wanted to see if ya'll have any feedback. thanks! also will b13 hubs and bearings and seals fit my b14? i thought i read they would wanted to be sure.

any suggestions for the hub and bearings. car has 216xxx miles of which ive had it for 50k. judging by the horrible noise i assume its safer to replace the hubs now as well.

I haven't bought from that exact company, but I've bought ebay hubs in the past and they've worked perfectly fine for me. Besides that, I couldn't find anywhere else to get them.

its cheapest to just go to the junkyard and pick up some good ones. you can use spindles off any model b13, b14, nx.

i had new moog bearings go bad on me rather fast, ~25k miles, ever since then i used BNIB nissan hubs, bearings and seals and now my car rides super nice and will probally continue to do so for 100k miles or so.

The stud holes strip easy. Think they're drilled too big. Had to weld the backs of a set I bought a while back.

Instead of spending hours doing a junkyard run I'd rather just not gamble on my spindles and just buy new. $60 is nothing for a guaranteed brand new spindle and bearing. My ebay bearing and spindle on my NX has gone at least 20k miles and that includes lots of rallyx runs on hard rutted surfaces. Before that, my B14 had ebay spindles and hubs that lasted until the death of the car.

here we go, these are the ones I bought:

i actually might just pull the hubs and order the timken bearings. praying the hubs are still good. or i may get these pressed out, see how they are doing and go from there. how often are the hubs trashed?
