I bought a car with a used set of 5-lug hubs and they make a groan while I drive. The FSM says to replace the hubs if the bearings whine, moan, or groan while you drive. There's no slop or movement, just noise. Where is the best quality place to buy them?

Ebay has a pair for $180, Courtesy Parts has them for $220, and I haven't really checked deeply with the Zilvia sponsors yet. Any recommendations?

Don't fuck around with knock off wheel bearings, you'll just end up replacing them in a year again. Go with OEM yes it costs alot but it also lasts years and years. I think mynismo.com had them for a bit cheaper than everywhere else.

Something that important has to be OEM. Would you really trust an ebay part that's DIRECTLY connected to your wheels?

I agree with Shadow. take your time and get good quality hubs/bearings or youll be buying twice. Think about it. The ones that you are replacing are probably the same ones from whenever your car was manuf. maybe 140k+. Quality. Stick with it.

For rears you can usually find a z32 n/a set with new bearings pressed or low mileage in the F/S section.
