    Well,I needed a hub assembly, but I've already purchased one from Autozone. However, I want to know what brands are good...just overall. Also, can you tell me what the yellow button is for that's located under the dash of the driver's side?

    Thanks

    SKF is the best brand for bearings.

    Also comes with the highest price tag.

    FTW= For the win.

    and OEM doesn't guarantee OE quality. Could be second or third line parts and be quite poor in quality.

    Go to rockauto.com and find out.

    I can tell you from experience do not go with raybestos for hubs. Originally bought two from rock auto and have replaced drivers side twice and passenger side once for a total of 5 hubs in less than 20 thousand miles, just bought two skf hubs the other day from napa for 252 bucks so lets hope they will last till the car dies or is out of my possession.
