Wheel Hub bearing replacement AWD

Whats up guys, going to be replacing my wheel hub bearing while I have some time off and was wondering if it is really necessary to spend 250$ for the OEM part. I have no problem spending the 250 if the OEM part is really the only reliable part but if it isn't too much different from the ones I have found online I would like to save some money. I found a Timken HA590255 2009 INFINITI G37 3.7L V6 Wheel Bearing & Hub Assembly | RockAuto
If anybody has any advice or suggestions I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Can't speak from experience with the part but I've yet to have any problem with any part ever purchased from Rock Auto. Should just be an OEM replacement part so there shouldn't be any concern of failure. Just my 2c

Timken makes good stuff. I would have no reservations running their wheel bearing. I haven't used this exact one in the past but have used their hubs on other platforms. How many miles are on your car?

Good to know thanks for the input. I got around 108k right now. Last thing on my maintenance list is flushing the tranny fluid and the stealership wants 290...

Now I am excited to order the part and save 200 bucks lol. Infiniti wanted 540 to replace the hub bearing and now it's going to cost me around 80 and an hour or two of my time.

Yeah but its not that noticeable. The hub bearing doesn't look terrible but I'd like to change it before it gets worse. Started to hear the noise about a week ago.

Like AARONHL said.. . Timken probably makes the OEM bearings.

When I bought Timken bearings for my 2003 G35 they were identical to the OEM Nissan on the car, including all marking, model numbers etc.......

I just replaced my left front hub with a Timken assembly. My car has 91K on it and it was starting to make noise. I bought it through Amazon. The car is much quieter now.

I've done several orders with Rock Auto, from brake pads/rotors to a radiator on my Cadillac. Love the part & shipping costs, and great customer service!
