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've had really good luck with Moog hubs from Advance Auto or O'reilly

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)....
