I'm gonna replace my hubs, knuckles, u-joints, rotors, ect on both ends. I was wondering which "version" of the hubs I should get(-99 or 99.5+) Is there a reason to get one over the other, or are they both just as "good?" Just wondering if one was more desirable than the other for any inherent reason. I noticed that for the 99.5+ I can actually get Mopar branded hubs, however a reviewer said that they were made in China and not really "OEM" replacements so to speak. Any actual info on that? Otherwise the consensus is Timken I assume?

As for knuckles, I have heard mixed opinions on the omix and crown offerings. I'm looking for the best "OEM spec" in reference to build quality and durability. Afterall I'm doing this whole thing so that I don't have to worry about it for another 200k miles, and my knuckles are grooved quite a bit. I'm willing to spend more on good stuff. Thanks

 

Also, what about the early vs newer style knuckles/calipers? I kind of like the idea of the early calipers that eliminate the knuckle wear from the pads sliding. Sure they will wear the caliper instead, but a caliper is a lot less work to remove and fix.

 

Timken has had a lot of trouble with bogus knock-offs lately. Check their website to see if there's a way to tell the difference.
