Default is my hub assembly bad?

I got both my hubs assemblys off today. One of them I can spin and it'll spin a little after I let go, the other one won't, as soon as I stop turning it, it stops. Time for new one?

The free spinning one would be the one to worry about, it has no grease in it.

your best bet is to put new bearings in, but i think it'll be a little easier to just buy the hub assembly from advance or autozone. i think they're about 92 bucks tho, they're not supposed to spin after you quit spinning them as said above. when i changed my first one on the driver side the pass side started goin out so i used the warranty on the one i just bought and got the other for free,

I'll check rockauto. I think I saw some for $50 or $60. Plus my current ones are rusted a good bit

Might as well replace them both and have some peace of mind. I had one separate and almost come apart one day.
