So I have run into a little problem, that is my wheel bearings are starting to go. I assume that is what the WAWAWAWAWAWA sounds is when I make a turn. But anyways, I am just hoping I could get some insight to see what everyone's thoughts were for E-Bay products and whether I was getting ripped of or if a product is fake, low/good quality so on and so forth. I have a 1994 GT-Four ST205 chassis and I had to turn to E-Bay UK. Also if anyone knows what I can get domestically that is compatible, I'm all ears!

Anyways I have many options for wheel bearings on E-Bay. I posted all of the links for review. So my question, has anyone purchased off of any of these sellers and if so which ones would be the best quality product?

Thanks in advance!

I was under the impression the ST205 / ST204 wheel bearings are the same... you'll need to cross reference the part numbers to see if that is true... IF it is... I would go with the Timken bearings and seals - high quality and decent price. Also, make sure you buy *NEW* axle nuts... they are a one use item - There is a TSB out on that from Toyota...

It will take him a moment to realize that he's about to make a 180 degree turn at speed, but you will be ready for it. Brace for the g's, and fast heel-toe work.

Im sure OP has found his answer but just to chime in the GT4 and other 6th gen models do share the same bearing...Cross referenced on toyodiy.com and it comes with the same part number yet the alpha-numeric ending has me confused. I think it may have something to do with the manufactuer. Otherwise personally i have used US bearings on my 205 as they are cheaper than the "from toyota dealership" here in japan.
