Front Hub Assembly and ABS ?

1) I had my car sent to a shop for the CV Axle to be replaced (didnt have time between work and school) and turned out spending way more because my engine mount and bracket were shot, hadn't been informed about the issue at purchase. *never going to that dealer again* So I spent $700 on what was supposed to be a $150 job. They suggested that I replace the Hub as well. So I just did my own research and Pepboys has SKF Hubs for $139.99 and my father is Ex-Military, so I get 10% off. Also I heard that you guys suggested the Moogs at Advance Auto. So just curious between the two. The SKF hub is made in America and has a three year warranty. (Although I know Timken is too, I just heard a lot of bad about Timken)
2) My ABS speed sensor harness is ripped as well. I need a new one and was curious at the recommended brand for that. All I found is Dorman, and BWD Automotive. Dorman is between $34-40 and BWD is $127. Which one is better? Also noticed only one side has the disconnect. Am I going to have to do some cutting and attaching to the original wire?

Sorry for the long post, just have a lot of questions, and no time.
 


As far as the harness being ripped, if your wiring looks fine and you have enough of it left and it's in tact then just properly splice them back together. If not, you can also find that dorman abs harness at rockauto for $20 i believe. Advance charges like $32 iirc. And you can just splice that one into your harness and be good to go. Either way, some splicing needs done to get your harness back.

Don't waste a bunch of money on some wires for a system that a great deal of people here hate.

I unfortunately no longer have either of the connectors... They were gone at both ends when I bought it, so buying the wire is required, and conveniently that hub is bad so I can get that wire too.
And I want to fix it because the Orange ABS light and Trac Off lights are driving me crazy.
 
Time to find a junkyard for the harness. Probably be the cheapest route, but may take more time that you possibly don't have.

Not sure on the warranty on the Timkin from Rock. You'd have to read the site and see what they offer. And FWIW, either the SKF or Timkin would work fine. SKF still makes quality stuff last I checked. I feel your pain on the ABS light. Mine's been on for months and it drives me nuts. That and it kills my Magnasteer, lol..
