• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

ABS Trouble...lets see if this forum can step it up

has to do with low quality and offshore built. I have the same issue on mine the one I put on last year is bad, but I won't use a used bearing (just my own preference)

I can understand your thoughts on a used bearing. But I can replace a used bearing 4 times for the price of a new one. And since Ed has a 6 month guarantee on all his parts, if it fails within that 6 months, I won't have to pay for another one.

And the stock ones last, how long? 6-7 years and 100,000 miles? Even if they last half of that, the stock ones still hold up longer than my NAPA unit that lasted 1.5 years and 35,000 miles.

I will gamble with a used unit anyday from now on.

went through 3 gm hubs in the first 120k on my regal GS. first was at about 50K, same one went again at 60 ish, (first under extended warranty, second under GM warranty...under 1 year) that replacement went somewhere about 110-120k. Replaced with Timken bearing, it's been on since the last gm one was swapped, and car has 179K now.

Yes, I am sure some people have problems with certain parts on their cars. But for the most part, this is not a common occurance with wheel bearings. Most people do not have this much trouble with stock hubs as they last 80-100k miles.
