    Has anyone had any experience with the DuraGo Wheel Bearing & Hub Kits from RockAuto?

    https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=8843260&cc=1317633&jsn=1814

    I have an extra set of ADD steering knuckles that I am getting my Total Chaos gussets welded onto and wanted to rebuild the assemblies while I was at it. They will be converted to manual hub assemblies to replace my current set.

    From RockAuto, the DuraGo Wheel Bearing & Hub Kits are $75.79 per side.
    From Toyota I am looking at $365.80 per side.

    Any real world input would be greatly appreciated.

    The reviews for Durago brand wheel bearings on Amazon are pretty bad. They're Chinese low quality stuff. In some places we can get away with running lesser quality parts, I wouldn't recommend durago or any other Chinese wheel hubs/bearings. I've yet to see an aftermarket Chinese wheel hub/bearing that I'd run on my own vehicle. I have installed a few for customers, their choice. If I do run into a Chinese wheel hub/bearing that does seem comparable to OEM I will definitely let the forum know.
    I think the pricing compared to OEM also tells you how the quality likely is
