Default Front Hub Assembly Question

I have a 98 RWD Blazer. I'm trying to order some new front hub assemblies. Many of the online sites, though I indicate that my truck is RWD, gives me a hub that says 4WD but yet says it is compatible.

So, are the RWD and 4WD front hub assemblies the same/compatible/interchangeable?

No the 4wd and rwd hubs are not compatible. Make sure you get one specifically for a rwd/2wd.

Thanks. That's what I though, but wanted to make sure I didn't blindly trust the the online tools.

Try partsgeek.com. I rebuilt my whole blazer through that site and it'll show compatibility and beat any price I've seen.
