HI Folks: We have an older trailer that belongs to our 1974 Winner Cobra 14 foot runabout. I think its safe to assume that its the original trailer. One of the wheel bearings is going -- we cannot seem to find a replacement. I am wondering if any of you might know where to get them at a reasonable price -- one guy wanted 450 for 1 bearing (not even the set)

The number on the bearing is L44643LA -- we are searching around other locations as well, but I am hoping someone here has some or knows where to look

It should be the same as a L44643 which is readily available.
Not sure what the LA suffix stands for.

The "LA" suffix denotes a bearing with Timken's DUO-FACE-PLUS seal installed which appears to be NLA.

The L44643 would fit but without the extra seal

Good to know.
They don't need a seal though do they?

The seal is between the cone and the race. It would help prevent contaminants from getting to the bearing surface proper. Would still need to seal the ends of the hub
