Warranty was 1 yr on mine, I'm at 1 1/2 yrs now and over 15000 miles and it is still tight and smooth. A Moog hub at advance is $310 with a 3 yr warranty. For $130 I have 2, one on the truck and a spare on the shelf. Plenty of choices out there.

I replaced the needle bearing in mine which was spun and greased it up. No issues. I know what you mean about the uni-bearing though.

Update on the detroit axle hubs. Its not good
Original hub purchased for $75 installed July 2014 Lasted 7,500 miles which I returned at my cost for evaluation and their response was "no manufacturers defect found" despite the life of $7,500 miles. So I bought the replacement from them for $90 and installed Feb 2015
20,000 miles later today the hub is noisy and a lot of play. The hub need replacing.
I call detroit axle and am told that the guarantee is expired and a new one is now $139.
The guarantee, they claim, runs from the original one in spite of the fact that I had to purchase the replacement in February at full cost and more than the original part.
The short answer is no thanks you have a really poor quality product and you don't stand behind it and behave like a shysters.
Going back to OEM. It's really a lot less headaches and while is is not a hard deal to change its certainly a hassle to have to change the hub multiple times a year.
Cheap made in china crap I guess and much the worst part is they simply don't stand behind it.
Very disappointed in Detroit axle and wont be going back and coul never recommend them to any one.
