Looking to replace wheel hubs
1991 95k miles

Notice vibration studder on deceleration and/or braking
I'm convinced it's time for wheel hub bearing replacement.
What is the quality go to product or company to order from?
I'm not afraid to do it myself. I just want a quality built product.
Thx

Did you check the hub for any slop or looseness? For the front hubs, jack the front wheel off the ground. Grab the tire at the 12:00 and 6:00 o'clock positions and push/pull the wheel in and out. Is there any movement? If so, the hub is toast. If there is no movement, the problem could be a warped brake rotor.
There aren't many sources for good quality front hubs. Look for Timken or SKF hubs. There are a few replacement hubs you can buy, but they are of cheap quality and current prices tend to be close to the better quality hubs. Try Rockauto, Summit Racing, Jeg's, or even Amazon. For front hubs, figure on prices around $200 each plus shipping.
