Replaced front wheel hub

[katsov]

Just replaced front passenger wheel hub on my 06 V6, 176k miles. Pretty straight forward, needed an extra run to autozone for a deep 32mm socket for the hub nut. Originally had a bad bearing or hub. There wasn't any play in the hub, but an almost grinding sound while driving. Replaced with MOOG 515078 for $190 from rockauto with overnight shipping. Local parts stores wanted over $250.

I got those sealed units down to a science pretty quick swap and they say make sure you torque the axle nut to 180 ft lbs .....the prices are simply insane and vouch for the $50 ebay units and buy them in pairs for $80...... ive had pretty bad luck with the autozone units... my 98 had over 50k before the junk yard took it and my 07 now has an ebay hub pushing 40k with no problems

I just cant justify $200 for a hub
