You have a "PM".

Personally, considering the hubs help keep the wheels on your car, I wouldn't even consider a hub that was that cheap!

I would agree that is about 1/3 the normal price. I replace my hubs last year with some Timkens from autozone. They had the best Timken price compared to my usual online places.

I haven't had to replace the hubs on my Corvette yet, but did have to on my 4-wheeler. I used SKFs, made in the USA (at least the ones for my GMC)....
