I need my front hubs replaced. From the parts store they range from 100 to 150 EA. On ebay brand new the prices are kinda all over seen 100 ea and seen 60 free ship on a PAIR new. just wondering if anyone as anything bad to say about hubs that are 2 for 60bucks off ebay.

I purchased the good ones from the parts store because let's face it, you get what you pay for. Do you really want to cut corners on the hubs and take the chance of one coming apart at 70 mph on the interstate. I am the same way with brake parts. I will glady pay double the price to know that I am installing the best parts possible for my family's safety.

/\ /\ /\ What he said. A wise old man told me once, if you can't afford to fix it right the first time, where the hell will you get the money to fix it again.

I agree, go with timken's they are about $140 ea. around here but its a safety thing. also why are they needing replaced? and if you do replace them torque that axle nut to 175 ft lbs.
