Re: $160 for new bearing does this sound right?

Thats Cheap, last bearing I replaced on the jza70 was $140 for an aftermarket one and 250+ for a genuine toyota bearing. Not to mention the axle stub which was rooted (common I am told) which was nearly $300 at mates rates for a new genuine (only option) part.
$450 + labour - all just to replace one bearing ! Would have been a $1000 job at toyota.
I went to Toyota to get a price on the alternator tension pulley for my GZE and they wanted $250+. I went to a bearing place and got nearly the same thing. It was for a hyundai instead for $40. Works a treat.
By the way its not actually a Hyundai part its a replacement built by a separate company.
