Hyundai wheel assembly replacement

I don't hear good things about it. I've checked amazon, parts avatar and hyundai dealerships. I don't see any pricing lower than $171, but I do see $70 wheel assemblies for other cars. Why is that? Are those parts previously used, and why is it so expensive for Hyundai parts?

I've checking with some dealerships, and doing my own research, so your advice would help me to supplement common knowledge, etc. Thanks in advance for your help!

Can just order the part from Canadian Tire (how is the quality) and they will order it for me even if they don't have it in stock?

Also, does anyone know the supplier for parts, as I should be able to buy directly from that brand I guess. Is it possible to contact the suppliers from various mechanics to get the part at the same price that mechanics get to buy it?

Also, I should be able to buy the part and then give it to the mechanic to fix, right? Is there anything I need to know about that (advice)?

Finally, I'm wondering if wheel assembly is covered under warranty as I guess it's not really considered wear and tear - can someone please clarify for me, as I checked the Hyundai website and several other references but it's not too clear for me as those sites list in generalities.

When I did my research, pay the extra and stick with brand like SFK or Timken so you don't ever have to redo it.

i am guessing your looking for rear wheel BEARING assembly
what year and model is your hyundai
if its a hub and bearing assembly it will cost more than just a bearing
the best pricing for parts is rockauto.com

list your exact model/year/trim so we can help. rockauto would be the first place to look.

You need to know what part you need. Wheel assembly isn't one. Rock Auto will give you an idea of the parts and USD prices plus all in shipping, duty and taxes.

Heavy parts often are less expensive for comparable quality locally because weight often adds a lot to the shipping.

It also depends on how quickly you need the work done.
