    I am going to be replacing at least one of my front wheel hubs, and I wanted to get some opinions on what brand is respectable. I usually go to Advance here in town, but I know that sometimes those parts can be introducing more of an issue.

    I replaced my left lower ball joint recently, and had to return the first one that I got for a Moog. There is some real junk out there.

    Anyway, what is the consensus? I don't need uber-performance, I just want it to be safe, and not have the ABS/Speed sensor going out in a week..

    Thanks in advance!

    For what it is worth, I have heard zzp ones are good also.

    I stick with used GM parts. I have been trough quite a few hubs over the years, and most of the ones that I bought from parts stores didn't hold up any longer than used GM hubs. So I buy used ones cheap and they last the same length if not longer.

    Thanks for the input, everyone! I will probably replace both front hubs. I have the kind of luck where if I replace one, the other will go out the next day LOL.

    I purchased mine from ZZP a few weeks ago. I have about 300 miles on them so far and i'm happy with them.
