E Bay Front Hubs?

I see new front hubs on ebay that will work on my E99 F350.

They are considerably cheaper than local NAPA or ORieley prices.

Any one have any experience with these hubs? Their low price ($99) makes me wonder at their quality.

Thanks

I'm not an EBay shopper, but hubs seems like one of those parts you don't want to "go cheap" on.

Just my two cents.

What "hubs" are you referring to? Are you talking about the actual wheel hubs or the 4X4 hubs?

The price reflects their quality. If you are not purchasing Ford ones from an online Ford vendor I would recommend purchasing locally. If there is any problem with a part like this you can get it serviced much more easily. But I would stick to a name brand like National, Moog, or Timken. The generic brands wear out too quickly.

Good point, there is no name brand posted with these ebay hubs

Thanks for your response

I always encourage to seek more affordable alternatives, but there is risk involved everywhere.
NAPA and OEM part don't have good quality at all. Lot of this forum sponsors offer upgrades. I did buy lot of parts on ebay and lately ordered Mercedes part from Romania (land of Gypsies). The seller had good feedback with hundreds replies and it worked just fine. I don't buy from sellers having less than 99.5 % positive feedback unless I can use my CC for warranty. Also ebay rates last year, sometimes it is worth to scroll the feedback past that period.

One thing I have come to realize on my wife's trailblazer hub assembly when I was shopping around is the price difference has been directly applied to warranty example: no warranty $XX.xx, 1 year +$20, 2 year +$30 lifetime +$50
