Use the Rockauto website. They usually spell out all the variations well and give oem part numbers to cross reference.

Rock Auto and NAPA are my most trusted parts sources, when it comes to correctly picking parts that are correct for my vehicles.

I have had some misses, online and even at the counter, at other national chain auto parts stores...

i assume it is supposed to read rwd, awd, or 4wd.

if you have a pic or at least a description we could probably tell you which you need. but the short answer would be 2wd or not, otherwise the awd and 4wd should be the same.

Depending on availability...
Timken or Moog would be my top 2, if AC Delco was not available or just too expensive.

I'll give you the low down - this guy replaced his OEM hub on a Hummer H3 with a Moog, went bad 1000 miles later, replaced again, went bad AGAIN around the same time, replaced with Timken after some more research.

I'm not an expert, and am only researching myself, but this video did make me stop and think twice about Moog. There have been some posts here about how they've outsourced to China and their quality has gone down, at least on the lower lines. I am still considering the upper lines, so, who knows.

Here's another video about Timken selling a bearing made by someone else - that was bad out of the box. Dangit.



SKF anyone?
