Are used factory wheel hubs/bearings worth anything
I have 3 wheel hubs/bearings off my '02 Z with approximately 40k miles on them after i switched over to the new skf hubs/bearings---any value in these?

Slight to none unfortunately. Anyone who would be purchasing them would have to run the risk of not knowing how much life left the hubs may have. New hubs are close to what you would want to sell them for. Most guys including us here at the shop keep old hubs for emergency situations where a customer or one of our employee's cars needs one replaced just to get the car back to the shop for a new OEM hub or an aftermarket hub. Now a days wearable parts have slight value as new parts have gotten cheaper and cheaper over the years. Hope this helps!

Bring them along as spares for the track. In the group that I run with, there are a ton of C5/C6s so we've had to swap a few hubs in the paddock. You could save someone's weekend if you have a spare in your trailer.

I had a bunch of track used parts, hubs, pads, rotors, shocks, I sold what I could and put the rest on here that read" free, you pay shipping". My garage is clean and clear of C4 parts, ready to refilled with C6 parts.
I helped out quite a few vellow vetter's by recycling my used parts. Was not out to make a buck, but was to help. Just an idea if you clean out garage of good used parts.

I had very good luck with used OEM hub bearings and ran them exclusively for years with no issues at all (safety related).
I would buy them anywhere from $50-$75 each from low mileage part outs. Beats the heck out of parts store prices.

I did the upgrade mainly because the RR hub was bad and did not feel like changing them out often so im hoping these last for a while. On the other note i feel like the car is more planted through turn in and when i roll back on the throttle, it just seems like my butt can sense more of what the car is doing--I'm some what new to this so that may have been an awful review but i can tell a difference since tracking the car for several years before doing this.
