Quality of Tapco Int'l parts?

[MichiganXJ]

I will need to replace my front unit bearings in the near future. Tapco International has the ones I need for $68/side (compare with ~$95 for Timkens on rockauto).

Does anyone have any recent experience with Tapco parts? I searched and found a number of threads indicating general satisfaction, but the most recent post was from 2006 and obviously a lot can change in 4+ years.

BTW-the Jeep is daily driven and does not see any serious wheeling.

Thanks in advance.

Had their $25 ball joints before I knew any better...lasted 3 months. Buddy of mine got the bearings and we were swapping in Timkens 8 months later.

Lesson learned: You get what you pay for. Buy once, cry once.
