    There is no sense in buy a cheap wheel bearing. DO NOT BUY TRQ! They only last about 4000 miles.
    Unless you like changing wheel bearing a lot.

    Can’t vouch on the cheap brands name, but regardless, I doubt we’re keeping the car for more than one more year anyways. The rust is getting bad on top of the windshield (was “fixed” about 3yrs ago, but creeped back up last year), someone did a hit and run in the front, so the bumper is scuffed and cracked, mileage is around 200k, so now that the bearing is replaced, new battery installed last month, winter tires/wheel will be removed and probably won’t be useable again... I think it’s time to part ways. I found a 2020 Prime fully loaded locally and it’s my wife’s favorite color, so not sure she’ll want that or if she wants to go another route. Kids want a Jeep again, but we can’t justify two 4wd’s in the yard.... unless We change both vehicles and get a Prius and Gladiator LOL

    true, trade in value puts you in the red for a while.
