Default Buying A hub...

So as the Blackberry messenger group knows, my driver side bearing is going out..... It is starting to sound like a helicopter and getting a little worse and it is time to buy a replacement.....

Any recommendations? I was looking at various places, and found these...

Also anything else to consider replacing while doing this??

(in general because I am sure I know the problem...)

Pick up a hub from a retailer that way you get a warranty with it and it's easier to return for a new one versus waiting for it to be shipped to you.

Definitely get one with a warranty, longer than a year if you can. My experience with aftermarket hubs is you'll be lucky to get more than a year out of them.

The bearing hubs should all come with the ABS Sensor so all that's left is torquing it to spec. Not sure if it's 160lb or 180lb, some mechanics just impact it till tight.
