Ahh I see.. Even though mine is going bad I can still replace the insides rather than the whole hub?

Are you asking me? I have a sealed hub I can not get to the inner and outer race the wheel seal or any of it if you have a serviceable hub like the 2wd with rear wheel abs then you can just do the inner,outer races and the wheel seal and call it a day for 40 bucks or so a side

Timken makes good parts though. I figure rather than repacking my bearing I can just spend a lil' more and get a new hub assembly. Lot easier replacement also.

Hub assemblies are not serviceable. Cheap ones are crap. I will only use Timkens or Nationals. The cheap ones will not last. Most will only last for 90 days or so.

I'll second that. I work for a Volvo/Mack truck dealership and the only bearings/races we sell are Timken. Very good parts.

I'll also second the cheap hub assemblies are, well, cheap. My brother-in-law had to replace one on his Blazer, after telling him to spend a little extra cash on the better one, he went and bought a cheap one. It went bad in about 2 weeks. He proceeded to DO IT AGAIN with the cheap one. Went bad in about 3 weeks. He FINALLY listened to me and got a National one I believe and that was about a year ago.
