Well gotta change wheel hub assembly

[CDNTAHOE]

Yep heard grinding and the ABS light comes on under slow braking and there is play on the driver sidewheel when checking with wheel off the ground. My question is what is everyone's choice in hub. I was going to go with AC Delco.

oem, timken, moog are all good, rockauto probably has the best price for a oem one but I would check them and ebay/amazon, rare to find one cheaper anywhere else

It must be in the air. My truck d/s was just replaced on Thursday. No lights popping up on the DIC but the gawd awful drone was nuts. I had my Indy replace w/ an A/C Delco unit.

Did an oil change, hub/bearing, new AGM battery, 4 new tires and alignment. I did discover the rough ride at 140k miles is from the orig shocks still on the truck [emoji3]

I found OEM on Amazon for $132 shipped, for us in Canada that is an awesome price.

It has been proven time after time that this is one part to not cheap out on. Timken is or was the OEM supplier for GM. I'd aim for that or run Moog if Timken or ACDelco Original (not ACDelco Professional and certainly not ACDelco Advantage) weren't available.

Yes, you did great if you got an OEM hub for $132 shipped.

Ya just ordered it I didn't want to cheap out. My wife and grand kids ride in it. Plus I find if you buy cheap you will get cheap products.

Does anyone know the torque specs for the 3 mounting bolts for the front hub assembly? I just changed both front on my 02 yukon and torque them to 140lb but I wanna be sure that’s correct.

You make great points about why to change it and IMO that means both should be done. If they are the same age then the other will go soon.

Stick with the quality parts mentioned here by the other members.

I had the passenger side done last summer, with a 4 wheel alignment. Ya quality parts for sure I just need time to get this done which will be done in a couple weeks.

I went with Timken. I replaced the original wheel bearings 2.5 years and 40,000 miles ago - no issues so far. Truck currently has 217k.

i just ordered a pair of fw324 (ac delco oem) off of amazon for $133 each shipped, I have a Amazon business account so the free shipping and no tax beats out rockauto who had them for $132+shipping+tax -5% still more than Amazon

But he's in Canada, so he did very well getting them delivered at that price.

Well got the truck back yesterday and wow what a difference. Feels tighter and boy did it needed to be changed. It was howling like crazy.

Got SKF wheel hub assembly took back ACDelco.

Why?

 

[CDNTAHOE]

Mechanic friend that did the work for me swears by SKF .

 

[CDNTAHOE]

When the original hub I ordered thinking it was original ACDelco turned out to be Advantage not oem, so he said to return it and get SKF.

Never heard of SKF. Hope it lasts for you.

SKF makes a lot of quality bearings. When I was with Magnaflux, we built a few mag particle inspection systems for them. I use them a lot on automated equipment. If there wheel bearings are if the same quality that I’ve seen on other stuff of theirs, I’d have no concerns.
