Default 4th Gen Front Wheel Hubs

Has anyone tried aftermarket fornt wheel hubs?

I can get he OEM ones but they seem pricey.

Just wanted to hear about other peoples experiences and opinions.

Thanks.

Yep, that's where I got mine too. In fact, I just ordered these 2 weeks ago, and installed just driver side so far...but apparently, the driver side is where my grinding/whirring noise was coming from, so the car runs quiet now.

I'm not having any problems. I'm doing alot of work on my Camaro and figure as long as I have everything torn apart I might as well replace them. There over 100K on the hubs.

I have to remove them to replace the wheel studs. I'm installin ARP 3 inch studs on the front so they match the rear.

When they make noise or have play, or any roughness when spinning you should replace them. I change them on cars all day but I still have the stockers. I dunno where the hell these customers drive.
