:thumbdwn: well i thought i could go forever with out having to worry about getting a hub assembly replaced, but 30 mins ago i was proven wrong, ohhh soooo wrong. I got the skreetches and squeks and the whole nine yards, then the ABS light came on. Theres probably 160 bucks down the drain. I keep on having to edit this lol. Anyways i found on anpa there is 2 different hub assemblies, very big difference in price.

theres the address, which do you recommend. I wheel pretty hard on my truck and have a 15x10 rim with 3.75 bs and a -19mm off set so there is stress on the bearings. THanks for any help

It looks like they are both the same hub assemble but the expensive one comes with fully integrated mounting and wheel flange. I would guess that the actual bearings are the same strength. But on closer look they seem to be the same unit with two part #s. Very odd.
 












What's the difference between backspacing, and offset?
 












:thumbsup: I must have missed that :confused:
 






so pretty much my question is now, does it matter which hub assembly i get?

edit: thanks to those who replied in my post, and tanks a lot for those who looked and didnt, way to go :thumbsup:. anyways i bought a hub assembly for 160.
