Would this kit be up to the job, just seems a bit cheap?

I think it's the bearings inside that are the most important point.

In my mind they should be sealed units but they aren't, possibly due to cost!

My cars got one side left to do and its a 51 plate so I was thinking this kit should see it out...

Could well do but I've never used them. Could also be old stock they just want rid of..

Worth a shot I guess. To be honest I'd just pack them with more grease once the covers are on to help prevent ingress.
