Is there a product that can replace genuine wheel bearings?
Hi, I'm driving a C63 in Korea. The mileage of the vehicle is about 40,000km. I got checked at the Mercedes-Benz service center and they recommended replacing the front wheel bearing?
In Korea, the price of a bearing is about $700 per piece
I searched and found that w205c63 has no replacement other than Mercedes-Benz genuine parts, can you tell me the product name if there is an alternative?
Please understand if it's weird because it's written with a translator

standard pricing for "authorized service centre's" - try here: https://www.fcpeuro.com/
they also deliver internationally
would help if you can post the part number and/or year+model

I would agree.
Purchase OEM (or better). Have a quality qualified mechanic install (if it works as a wiper blade, you can do this yourself).... but for those of us who are generally mechanically inept, get a pro to install for a part like this.
Purchasing from your "authorised serviced centre" is not necessary, you're just paying a convenience tax.

If it is not making noise, do not replace it. Worn wheel bearings will create a humming or whirling sound when you reach a specific speed and when you move your steering wheel side to side while driving it makes the sound more pronounced. If it is not doing that I would question that recommendation specially for a 40k vehicle.
