SKF X-tracker is widely regarded as the best solution. I'd recommend the kit from Stranoparts. Sam has built many sets of these kits and knows what works.

Sort of. Those are my parts. Made for me. They aren't selling them, they are not "UMI" parts. So call Strano Performance Parts for them. BTW, they are anodized when done, not raw steel. These were fresh off the mill.

Click the link, $999.00 including the Xtrackers. ($250 for the adapters and bolts only if you have your own hubs). And comparison pictures with a stock F-body hub.

This is actually Sam's exclusively. Always was and always will be. Sam simply doesn't have a Mazak and we do...

When I turn the steering wheel to change lanes to the right I don’t hear noise but going straight and going to the left I feel all kinds of vibration, I think it’s the passenger side wheel bearing.

Saw a review on the Moog version on an auto parts store who wrote: "You'll also know that your hubs are worn if, after making a turn or cornering aggressively, your brake pedal is very soft or goes to the floor. This is "pad knockback" from a wobbly hub that presses your brake pads back into the calipers. Time for new hubs!" This is a new one on me.
new to me as well.....this may be the issue with my 245000 mile daily. i just thought my brakes are over due to be bled.....the first 3/8" of pedal travel is basically dead. after a quick use all is well.....vibrates like a **** as well
