Hi
If you were broke but needed a wheel bearing could re fit one of another car with 200k on the clock or would that just wrong?

Depends if the donor car had one replaced. Ive got a new bearing but if your broke how much can you afford. There a piece of piss to replace.

High mileage, well maintained scraps cars can often be a gold mine of new or nearly new parts.

As a rule, bearings cant be removed without breaking them.
