Default Where to buy wheel bearings for a 2001 Camaro Z28 in Austin?

I was swapping out wheels and I just found out that my newly acquired 2001 Z28 needs new front wheel bearings - there is considerable amount of play, especially in the passenger side. They are about $85-$90 on ebay, but I want to pick them up locally this coming week so I can put them in quick. I called Champion Chevy, but they want $400+ for each, and they say they have to order them too. Is there some place I can buy these locally in and around Austin without being buttraped?

No such thing as wheel bearings. They are a full ABS hub assembly, hence the cost

Yeah, you don't have a choice. They are pre-packed bearings. Autozone, or ebay, pretty much your only choice unless you want to get raped by the dealership. How are your U joints? That could be giving the play.

103.00 @Oriely, 69.xx @ advance, 103.xx @ autozone, these prices are for their
" house brand", major brands are about 50% more.
I can not post a link- not a vendor, just google "oriely", advance,autozone or any major parts house, and log on to their site and look up parts and price and local availability.just input your zip code.
All these parts web sites are great to look up parts for your self.
Good luck, johnny
