Okay Advance has a hub assembly for 59.99. But my friend is saying that he had a recall with a "national" brand hub assembly. The dealership is 119.99. What do you guys think? Is national brand okay?

Ok, I have an 05 with the same problem. I live in Italy though so it's not very easy to take it to a repair place for work. We do have an Auto shop on base that I can generally do most work at.

I'm confused when you say hub assembly. Is it not just a bearing like this?

Or does someone have a part number I can lookup for it.

Is it better to replace them in pairs or just the problem wheel?

Thanks,

TIM

After some more searching, looks like this is it for the rear. http://www.carparts.com/details/Timk....html?loc=Rear

Any thoughts on the Timken brand?

Thanks,

TIM

Timken is a major brand in bearings, this would not be considered a "no-name knockoff" part.
