Hey Folks. Just a quick opinion poll. Time to replace the front wheel hub assemblies and, as prices vary among manufacturers, just wondering if there is a reasonable difference in build quality between brands. By reasonable difference I mean POS vs' durable.

Brands I'm considering are: Timken $178 (per unit), Garage Pro $128, and Mevotech $91.

I usually live by the rule "you get what you pay for" but I also know that, for some applications, the difference between manufacturers is negligible. Just wondering what you know/think?

TIA

Go with Timken
Better quality
Where did you find a Timken hub for $178? All the ones I found were very expensive.
