ok so i think i need new front hubs, the left tire is very worn on the inside and the wheel is leaning in at the top. i know running 22s kills the hubs. its actually one of the only things i've had to replace. so last time i paid up the ass for the hubs because there were no forums.

i have an 01 2wd 1500 suburban. wheres a good place to order these bad boys from? i'll be doing the labor and searched the forums. i couldnt find any threads on where people have bought them. any helped greatly appreciated

There has to be some difference between these
cheapy hubs on ebay and ones that you would pay
$225 to $250 each for at Rock Auto or Napa right?

Rock has the delcos at $237 for my truck...

Not really. You can get SFK bearing assemblies (which is what Midas sells for $300 around here) for under $90 shipped. The price differences are just an illustration of how hard your average shop is trying to **** you these days.


Just don't go too cheap!

Doubt hubs are the problem. There are adjustments on the upper control arms that can set the angles. Why dont you go for a alignment before hubs? Defiantly the cheaper route to go

because i doubt the adjustment bolts make you wheels loose when jacked off the ground?? i have danced this dance before, unfortunately.
