Well i received the hub assemblies today. They are impressive. Fit like a glove. They came with new abs sensors and studs. They look very solid and well built. Took about 30 min each side. Front hub wine is gone and the truck is much smoother. The delivery guy though a different story. He left the package outside my driveway gate on the road. Cant believe thry were not stolen. Now we will see if they stand the test of time.

That didn't empress me at all. .003" on a big bearing like that ? (and could have been the worst of 1000). How about materials and other clearances in there? That bearing could last 10 times as long as the other two while maintaining it's very small "slop". Rediculous. That's why things get a bad name....................by idiots!
