    Appears one of my hubs is shot, since I've got a nice growl coming from the front end. Brakes, tires, and rotors were replaced last year, so I'm pretty sure that's not one of those items. I bought Timkens for my Impala earlier this year when they had to be replaced, so I'd prefer to go with Timkens again. But I see Raybestos listed on Rock Auto, and I'm not sure if they would be worth getting. Recommendations?

    Timken. Or Moog. Or SFK. Timken is the best value.

    Timken is what I thought. Now I just have to confirm it's only one hub. I believe it is, since on was replaced two years ago, about 35-40,000 miles. The other has not been replaced since I've put 80,000 miles on it.

    It's the front. Growl is just awful from the front end. I just don't know which one yet.
