    Why is there such a huge difference in the price of front and rear hubs for my 2007 GP between brands and vendors. What gives?

    ABS and non ABS hubs can be a cause.

    And of course quality. I prefer to run a mid grade to high end bearing like a timken or a SKF bearing.

    Those both run right around 100 bucks, and a small price difference between front and rear.

    I made the mistake of buying the cheap hubs once...had to replace them 13 months later. Went with Timken, and they were still on the car 3 years later when I got rid of it. Spend a little 3 times, or spend more once.

    SKF only, seriously. Timkin quality has gone in the ****ter since they sold out to the Koyo corp.
