WTF? Oh... you're replacing the assembly via warranty... OK, I get it. Well, I just ordered mine via Rock Auto. Opted for the Moog unit. I would have ordered the spindle nut through them as well... but they come in packs of FIVE... and... well.... I don't need five of them.

That I can source locally.

I had moog before my current ones. They lasted me about 1.5 years.

Boneman

That's a little disturbing.... time is one thing, how many miles? And... (if you can recall) are the Moog units made in USA?

Big PITA is the torque requirement. Looks like I'll be "borrowing" a torque wrench from AZO yet again.....

Eismann

Mileage wise I would have to say 15-20k most since it was a daily driver at that point. To my recollection yes they are but don't quote me on that.

I'd just go Timken.

Boneman

Hmmm... just checking the records... I replaced the LEFT hub assy at 129K and the right at 145K. Car has 155K on it now... and truth be told... way too early for EITHER of them to need replacing.... but the telltale chatter is there.

What's difficult at times to glean... is which side is bad... eeesh.

Boneman

Installed the new Hub Assembly this AM. I was VERY disappointed to see that the Moog part was clearly labeled "HECHO EN CHINA".

Seriously??????

Next time, I'll opt for the Timken.

Eismann

Well I wish you luck with length of time for your replacement. Hopefully last longer than mine at least. Mine will be redone in the next couple of weeks.

Boneman

We shall see.... as it were, this particular hub was replaced 26K miles ago. That's a little disturbing. Good luck with yours as well!

Boneman

BTW... Sonic Blue.... RULES, eh? ;-)
