I am looking for fronts hubs as well but I'm a little iffy on those cause of the " you get what you pay for" theory. I have seen some timken hubs for around $80-90 and hear they are pretty good hubs for w-bodies.

you have to watch out on those i use them on my 02 Bonneville i had. I ended up replacing them 5 times before they finally figured out the problem. The factory torque specs at something like 225 or 250 foot pounds(cant remember) but those are 118. But after that they were good. So just make sure they give you the proper specs before in stall. The warranty is why i got them.

I had to pay for shipping to them then they checked the part and paid for shipping back. Shipping it back to them was around $10. Was kind of a pain to have to pay for shipping but with a lifetime warranty i guess it was worth it.

Again........thanks for the info. Guess that you need to save at least one old hub to put back on the car while your sending the replacement back. How was the shipping time?
