anyway, his price was $250/bearing installed, so $500 for the pair..
I just did a rear on a buick rendevous AWD which i believe is the same as an aztek. $500 for 2 installed is a very fair price.
Fraternal Twins. same factory at the same time, Like my Sable and Mom's Taurus. some different sheetmetal, and trim/interior bits, but essentially the same vehicle.
the Aztek in question is only FWD though, and of course it was a Front bearing...

My 2004 VW needed them at 3 years of age, albeit it was at 105kmiles. Wife's 2001 Civic needed them at 150k.
My 2000 Hyundai Sonata Needed Rear Bearings in late 2004, at around 50k mi... thank you 10yr/100k mi warranty!
(in my ownership that Warranty paid for both rear wheel bearings, both front window regulators, Tachometer, and JUST before expiration(99,997mi), CV Boots.)
