    Hang on there buddy. You likely don't need a new hub.

    Many times when we are fighting the hub, we bend the backing plate a little. This causes it to rub on the rotor in turns as the rotor flexes a little.

    Check the backing plate before you spend the money if possible.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    PS.. our bearings don't get lubed. They are sealed units and ... yeah. No lube.

    I'm pretty (90% or more) sure you have a slightly rubbing backing plate.
