Cheaper way to fix front left bearing?

[hide with MKIII]

My 87 NA didnt pass MA inspection because of shot bearing on the front left.
I am looking for a cheapest way to make the car pass the inspection and changing bearing would cost me 250 dollars. Then I thought, if I could get a not bad Steering Knuckle with Axcle Hub cheap, it wouldnt cost over 150 dollars to fix.
So I am looking for a FRONT LEFT Steering Knuckle with Axcle Hub.
My mechanic said I shouldnt use an used part for bearing because you never know what kind of condition the parts are.

However, I am planing a project of making JZA70 soon. So I just need my current Supra to be drivable for a year or so (not using shell of mine for the project).

If you have the parts I need or know better way (cheaper way) to make my car pass MA inspection. Please reply.

Thanks
Here is the pic of the parts I need.

hah wow. MA state inspection really seems to care more about individual safety than "pollution". its kind of nice.

in NY you would never fail for a wheel bearing. how would they even know? they only throw the car on the dyno and thats it.

How much are they charging for the bearing? I got my rear bearings at Discount auto. They list the front bearings at $41 Here is the link
Discount Auto Most shops charge about $100 for each side. Check with local parts stores, online car club forums in your area & see who they reccomend that does side work. Most of the time they will charge you 1/2 of what a retail shop would. Hell even ask the mech. at the shop if he would do it on the side.

Sell the damn car to someone that is willing to maintain it properly.
