You took my reply all wrong, but oh well.
But I have to ask a question though, do you honestly believe that a hub bearing that costs $68.00 on Ebay compares to a stock or Timken hub that cost around 150.00 each?
I am all about saving money as well, but sometimes you need to look at the big picture.
Good luck with your parts..
Also just an FYI:
The Timken company was founded by Henry Timken in St. Louis, Missouri in 1899 and incorporated as The Timken Roller Bearing Axle Company. A year earlier, in 1898, Timken got a patent for the tapered roller bearing for which the company would become known. At the time, Timken was a carriage-maker in St. Louis and held three patents for carriage springs. However, it was his patent for tapered roller bearings that allowed his company to become successful.
The company moved to Canton in 1901 as the automobile industry began to overtake the carriage industry. Timken chose this location because of its proximity to the American car manufacturing centers of Detroit, Michigan and Cleveland, Ohio, and because it was close to the American steel-making centers of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Cleveland.
