Front wheel bearing question

What are you guys paying for them (stock)
I called the dealer today...$417 each!
Why did I call the dealer? Because before the Jeep I had a Caravan and needed a front bearing, every other parts place quoted me over $200ea....the dealer..... $75. For the first time I found something cheaper at the dealership.

I haven't tried elsewhere yet but I was just curious at how much they are in the US.

Also, I'm not entirely convinced it's my wheel bearing but maybe my tires, they need to be rotated now that winter is over so that's my first step. But just in case I want to get prices now.

Are there better brands out there? How much are they?
Thanks again guys.

The cheap china made ones can be had for about $150 each,the better Timkin versions run about $250-$300 each I believe.Haveing ABS will increase the price by about $50-$100 over non-ABS.

hmmm, I don't have ABS, dealer asked me for the VIN to make sure he got me the right ones.
Mind you, I've even called other dealerships before on same part(O2 sensor) and got 3 different prices :shock:

yep, that is how they work. They set their own price mark up. Heck, I have even called a dealership twice about the same part and have gotten a different price both times
