    AutoZone sells the hub assembly for $125. It's packaged as a Timken, but the actual part is stamped FAG. It also has a one year warranty.

      Good to know, Timken is a good brand and thats $30 cheaper then the SKF brand hub assembly I found. There is a Meyle one for $79 but I plan on taking some corners hard and want to be sure im installing good bearings that wont complain about the thrust loads.

        Yea I went with the Timken one at AZ. The actual part said FAG on it. It was about 135 plus tax so it wasn't any cheaper than the online options, but I could pick it up and install it the same day. It was not very hard to change except I broke one of my socket wrenches re tightening the 36mm bolt.

          I imagine you rented/used a 3 jaw puller to remove the old hub assembly, but how did you install the new one?
