I've got a drivers side wheel bearing gone and a passengers side ball joint out. Since I'm going to have to tear into both sides I may as well replace all 4 ball joints. With 164000 miles on them its a matter of time. My question is what brand of hubs and ball joints to buy and wher to buy them?

 

Take a look at XRF ball joints.

 

go timken on the wheel bearings. XRf on the ball joints . rock auto has them cheap

 

http://stores.ebay.com/Hub-and-Beari...4?_sop=3&_sc=1 here is the guy I bought my wheel hubs from back a few months ago. $99 a piece and they are doing great. Have a couple of thousand miles on them so far. I also went with XRF ball joints from rock auto.

 

Yea that ebay guy is not to far from me. Just ordered one from him. No XRF's to be had. Even called Mark Burkhardt at XRF and he said none until mid june. I went with The Mcquary Norris from the tire club. The pass. side u joint not going to last much longer and cant wait until mid june on ball joints. I also went with the spicer 5006813 from 8lugtruck gear. Going to just replace hub, both u joints, and all four ball joints while i got it all apart. Thanks for the help guys.
