Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

Wait til you see the difference in size. You'll ask yourself why you didn't switch them out sooner.

ebay spoiler was $150, whole trunk $180. Of course I'll make sure a gp trunk lid will fit in a gp trunk..I think so.

Dont forget to shave the keyhole on the trunk

changed a suspected bad hub, seems to have fixed my abs issues so far and the pulling to the left. f er was seizing up on my it seems.



heres your tool list for a hub swap.

dont leave home without that BFH!!!!

Pssh, when I did mine I didn't need no BFH it came right off, same with the axle nut even if I did use an impact...

you can just see the handle of my breaker bar in the lower right, lol all by hand. it popped free real easy this time around.

ive not need to pound one out yet. this one took a few good taps on each side and it fell off. but then again, i just installed this one a year ago. and its a timken. thanks china.

Interesting thought Timkin was supposed to be good, you sending it back for warranty?

Sent from the Milky Way

its swapped already under warranty. and it seems timken suck now, one is good still this one, not such good luck, i blame china parts.

like i said i put this in last april, and now its shot. so if you buy local, you take it off, walk into the store, hand them the old one, they hand to a new one. you walk out with a smile.

funny thing, ive only bought one hub. replaced the right front. then the d/s went bad, so i used the other sides warranty to replace the left side, now im warrantying the free one lol 3 hubs for one, and i still got a year left on the warranty. more mayhem to come? tune in later lol

Do they send you a pre a paid label to send it back or just send you a new one. And whats the turn around time on ths2t process

Sent from the Milky Way

whole job took just over a hour, with driving to the store to replace it. no labels. i bought it local at autozone. they hand you a new one on the spot.

this is why i buy hubs local. i cant lay my car up waiting for parts to come.

I see extra tools

I think when I do mine I might just get one from Napa so like you said if I need to do it again I dont need to wait weeks for it to go through the rma process.

FWIW using online discounts I got the Moog at Advance Auto. 3 year warranty.

Anyone know of one with a longer or lifetime warranty
