Price isn't the best choice to use for parts purchase, quality is what people should look for.
Top outer ball joints on a Hilux replaced every WOF until quality joints were installed.

Maybe the rear one is an ABD group bearing nz company so should be ok ish and the 2 front from aussie are 220$ shipped and reviews suggest they are decent for the money but in all reality it was a 1500$ xtrail with a cvt noise which was the front left inner cv bearing was sloppy as all fuck with no grease or roller bearings in the spider gears so was loose as all hell and that was the noise so doing the front hubs as at 220$ price why not flogged cv would have put abit of wear into one so just do both.
The kelpro fronts are 850 - pair and rears 880 each so better then 1650 bucks for the same function but higher quality bearings only going by name and price

Im just hope that the cvt gearbox last longer then the bearing/hubs and ill be happy
