Timken is good but pricey. Rockauto has a good selection including the Timken. There is also the 5% 3geez discount code (I think it's in the site news section).

EDIT: No, I lied. here it is:

Doesn't matter.

Are you buying the whole assembly or just the bearing? If you buy just a bearing you will need a machine shop to R&R the bearing on the hub. With hub assemblies you can do it all at home.

Something like this... Rock Auto only seems to have one choice for a preassembled hub.

As far as I know all the rear hubs are the non-rebuildable units. The inner bearing cups and balls are removable but the outer cups are machined into the housing.

At Rockauto you have to look under "Axle Bearing and Hub Assembly", not "Wheel Bearing". Yeah it's dumb.

Yeah, I guess so. But, have you ever had problems finding a part on Majestic Honda's web site? If you want the coolant temp sensors at the water neck you have to look at "alternator bracket." Finding parts on that site can sometimes boggle the mind.

Thanks for the info. I'll had to hold off on getting the hub tell after next cuz I came across a opportunity to pick up a cleaner 3g and had to jump on it. but I will be taking the rear disk from this one so at point I will have to fix it. Which leds me to the next question. Would I be able to take the hub would/should from one car to the next???

AFAIK all 3g rear hubs are the same.

i just replaced all of mine, with autozone brand, lifetime warranty. there nice. unless you plan on dropping tons of money into the car, hub assembly is the least of the worrys on what is better than the other. they're 40$ a piece at autozone for the rears, and 50$ for the front.

It's not really about money with me. It's about keeping the car running like stock or better. if u seen my post I now own two members rides one of which will get notting but the best.

[vteckiller]

well the autozone ones are lifetime warranty and OEM replacement.
