What I've learned from all of the trouble people have with the replacement hubs is that when I need new ones, I'll probably pony up for new GM parts. Keeping in mind that the wheel bearings and brake calipers are the only things holding the wheels on (especially at OT speeds), and that the lifetime guarantee on the rebuilt parts seems to be gone now, the cheap alternatives don't seem so cheap. MHO .... Well the Timken brand from autozone is probably just fine. Timken is a very good name in bearings. I know they make some OEM bearings in GM's. Of course whether they build them to a different spec for GM is the question. |
