On ebay and wondered if anyone has dealt with this guy before. They are alot cheaper on ebay than in Autozoo so i would like to go that route but if someone has had a bad dealing with him ill just bite the bullet and go to Autozoo.
Thanks

Not from him. I have ordered 2 hub/bearing assemblies for my F-350 off of e-bay. They are still going, after a year and a half or more now.

What does his feedback look like?

He's a power seller with almost 5000 sales and a 99.7% positive rating. He would not screw that up just to make a few bucks. I would feel confident buying from him AND would use Paypal as suggested since they insure the sale.

You know Fords are just Timken right?

My local corporate owned Napa sells the Ranger hub/bearing for $108 plus tax for my 2004.

yes i knew that the ford ones are fabricated by timken but the cheap ones come from taiwan or japan.

you see the problem

i will never buy this stuff again but that is just my opinion.and to get new ones is not as easy here in germany as in the usa

Actually, the Japanese bearings are just as good as US made and in many cases, better.

BTW, every time I saw in outer seal leak it was the result of improper torque.
