Default hub replacement

My hub feels wobbly on the driver side. passenger side feels perfect.

I see a few option on autozone / advance auto

any key things i need to look for or make sure of before I finalize this purchase?

I am conservative with my cars mechanical parts. Out of habit I always replace parts on both sides to keep everything working correctly. Maybe it wouldn't be so important with hubs, but I would still do it.
As long as the parts are not made in China you should be golden. The Chinese replacement parts do not last long at all.

id like to see parts have alloy ratios on them or something so I can see how sturdy stuff is.

The info on the autozone website it telling, it says that the hub assembly is "Globally produced", that BS is almost always code for "Made in China". I absolutely would not buy a Chinese part for my car, especially not a part that could cause harm when it fails.

If it was made in Japan or Germany, they would say it.
