New Front Wheel Hubs

[its55]

Looking at my old 51 year old hubs, I'm wondering, at what point would it be necessary to bite the bullet and pay nearly $400 for one of these things?

Never had an issue. If they are dimensionally ok and not cracked no need to replace them.

Front hubs last basicly forever unless damaged by something. Very broken bearing could do that but even then usually just the spindle gets hurt. Or seized lug nut could make the bolt spin and damage the hole in the hub. As long as nothing like that happens I believe you can find more useful holes for the money.

The above comments are what I was thinking…

Back when I went full Turbo brakes conversion on my 02, it was a small premium.   In the past 10 years or so the price premium became very prohibitive (>2X non-Turbo brakes).

Turbo has always been rare, and rare meant not cheap. So it’s surprising and funny to see it for less…
