Actually yes. I have had to replace mine loads but only due to trial and error. First the wheel bearing was shafted due to age, the next one went due to being incorrectly torqued up (the hub retaining bolt that is), the next one went due to the hub the bad camber on my wheels (set of camber adjusters have fixed that i think), 3rd one went do to hub being worn so didnt sweat into bearing properly. Seems to be all sorted now though.
Vauxhall Nova Ones are £40. Pattern ones are £20. id imagine corsa being similary priced. IMO Go for the vauxhall ones since they are a better build quality.
I now have spare steering knuckles from a scrap yard with good bearings and hub in. Then if a bearing or something does go I have a spare that I can quickly stick on, since swapping a complete steering knuckle takes less then an hour whereas changing a bearing and hub can take a lot longer if they are stuck tight (also you gotta find somewhere that stocks them!!)
