Howdy,

There seems to be quite a few different hubs on the market and I'm curious what you guys have found to be good or bad. And also doing some online research, I see a big difference in prices from the US and Canada, so I'd appreciate some suggestions on where to get some in Southern Ontario, or if I should just cross the border and buy a few at a decent price.

This is for my '99 K2500 Burb btw, and I don't know if its possible to rebuild these hubs, but I think I'm better off with complete units that just bolt in.

Thanks in advance.

If you are asking about the Front bearing assembly, then I suggest Timken all the way. There are many threads on this topic, give it a search. I don't know where to get any in Ontario though... sorry.

Check out this thread. Your bearing assembly is a little different, but it might help.

Thanks beast. I have searched and I agree, Timken it is. They're the only bearings I run in my Jeep, and I wheel that sucker hard. The price variance from the US to Canada is more than double, even with the almost dollar parity, and thats for the cheaper no name stuff, not the Timken. If I can't find anything local, I'll come across the border and get a bunch of parts I need.
