hubs again

[ClassicXJ]

Okay my front hubs are both pretty shot and I figure while I am changing out the shafts, joints, rotors and calipers; I might as well so the hubs too. So I found a few places online with prices from 90 bucks to 150 bucks. Is there really a difference in bearing design between companies?

Here is the cheaper one

and here is the more expensive (but timken) one from auto zone

any help would be greatly appreciated

go with any one with Timken bearings... i think Quadratec has them for like $125 or so....

The cheaper hubs probably have lower grade bearings in them. The AZ ones have Timken bearings which are very high quality.

If you do any 4 wheelin' or plan to keep your Jeep, I'd go the AZ ones or something equivalent.
