I recently changed mine on the V50, saw these cheap ones, ended up getting one from local motor factors (cheaper than ECP too) - DriveTec (never heard of them) - but hopefully better than the cheap ebay unbranded rubbish.

Dont blame you for not wanting to pay volvo prices!

It wasn't expensive, around £45, and they'll walk off the car now we've replaced them before.
Same thing here - they wanted a letter - I have a B.Eng degree and I am (well was, now lapsed) and licensed aircraft fitter for military jets so I can legitimately put a few letters after my name and I explained explicitly the symptoms and diagnosis and offered to return the faulty bearing. The e-bay seller (BAHUHA) just kept saying the description was inconclusive. It could not have been more comprehensive. I suspect they've bought a container full of them and there's no returns - so they just fob you off. Their behavior is that of a shyster.

As usual money raises it`s ugly head and saving Shekels can`t be resisted. I would think by now anything out of China unbranded would be known to stay away from. It`s just like "lifetime" warranties from parts suppliers. Since all they do is replace a $100 part with one that costs them $20 if it`s defective they lose nothing and they laugh all the way to the bank. Now if they paid for labor, "lifetime" would go away
