Hrm my noise rly does sound like a crop duster or plane flying.....but 500$?? fudge. Could the noise have sumthing to do with how messed up my alignment is? Im getting that and new brake pads this weekend, ill let ya know how it worked

 

500 BUCKS FOR A HUB ASSEMBLY!!! who's ripping you off...i sell them for 190 cdn...so i would imagine they're cheaper american...and they're really easy to install...just 1 big nut infront, and 3 smaller ones on it gotta come off..then it just slides on

 

can my hubs being going at 73000? i dont drive rough but my car is misaligned and I need breaks

 

i've seen hubs go @ less than 10000 miles for a factory delco unit...they're not the greatest things...gm has a few problem area's on their cars direct from the factory, one being the 3.4 and 3.1 l intake manifold gasekets...the other being the front hubs on these cars' i sell about 4 of these a week @ my work...they are very common..but they also fit almost every gm car from 2000-2005, and the montana's and the rondevouz and the aztec...but still sell a lot of these

so in short...yes...it could be going @ 73,000 miles...if you think about it..most people drive 25,000 miles a year...so 3 years out of a factory hub isn't too bad...but if you go with an skf one you'll have that on there as long you own the car

 

so if I take my car in today to get aligned and new brakes, will they catch this problem or should I point it out?

 

ask them about it when you go...but they will probably catch it, if they're doing brakes they will most likely notice if a hub is no good...

 

I don't think I got ripped. Unless it was on the labor, thats always expensive. It cost me $180 per assembly for each side. I did note that both sides on my car went out at the same time. Then labor was about $70 per side. Thats right at $500.

 

ohhh...500 for 2...thats not bad @ all...i thought u meant 500 for one

 

i had my hub on the pass side replaced back in jan. the hub itself was only 148.00. Mine also sounded like the airplane was pacing me (i sped up so did the sound) but mine went out at about72,000 miles.

 

Brought my car to the shop today, hope they know what they are doing because they said my breaks and hubs are fine! They just aligned the car for me and im going to pick it up soon. Hope it sounds good!
