Are the EBAY wheel bearings any good?

I need some wheel bearings on the drivers side and was looking at them on ebay and seen they were priced at a good deal does anyone know if they are worth buying? Thanks Guys

I was just going to ask the same question. I need front axle bearings for my EX. I saw on one site that they are listed as Timken Bearings. I need a part number to make sure its the right one. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Go to any auto parts store website, (i.e., Napa, O'Reilly's) and enter your vehicle and pull the part numbers. That's the easiest way to do it.

If they are actually Timken thats about as good as it gets. If they are knock off Chinese bearings, you might was well grease your wheels with pig fat like they used to do in the old west.
