I currently drive the truck described obove with concerns of having a lemon. 3 months ago, I had to replace the left from hub or bearing which cost approx. $425. Now I am experiencing the same howling in the left front. Everyone I talk to cannot believe I have to replace the bearings in a 4 year old truck, especially the left one. Is there a possible defect that could be causing the bearings to go out or cannot I be confident that it will be taken care of when I replace them? I am also wondering the quality of bearings to put in: A GM bearing costs $400, I can purchase one from a local auto parts store for $325, or I can purchase one off of Ebay for anywhere from $55 – $180 and have a friend do the repair. Please help me out and give me your opinion on what I should do. Has anyone else had problems with front bearings on a similar truck?
Has anyone had any experience with front hub assemblies purchased from the ebay dealers? If so where you satisfied with the durability and quality
I am not off roading, I drive mainly highway miles, I have put on 32,000 miles since I bought it in Dec. of 2008
