    I haven’t read tang other post.
    Mostly because I’m lazy, and my opinion in my opinion.
    It doesn’t amount to much.

    Buy what ever hub assembly you want.
    Once you have done them, it’s not “too bad”.
    Throw a set in every 3 years or so, if that’s what you want?

    You’ll either get lucky and have the cheap ones last.
    Have good luck and have the expensive ones last.

    Have bad luck and have the good ones fail.
    Have bad luck and have the cheap ones fail.

    I’ve bought both types.
    I’m currently on the cheap set.

    And NO! I didn’t buy the expensive ones for 05Taco4x4.
    I bought mine from a prior forum member who is no longer here. (He was banned)
    And No, I can’t say his (the expensive ones) where no good.
    My truck had a problem with pulling to the right. And that may have led to premature bearing failure?
    I don’t know? All I know is, I went cheap(er) this time around. We’ll see how these work out.
    If I get 3 years like the “better ones”. I’ll just keep throwing cheap(er) ones in. :confused:

    I didn’t look when I did mine.
    Only had them in for about 7k miles.
    So I can’t even really give you a good review. Mine both came with the dust seal for the backside knuckle. And the big o-ring.

    The weird thing is, I ordered them months apart. The first one came with a thread locker on the hub bolts. The the other didn’t. One had the o-ring already installed on the hub the other didn’t?


    It could be they are made by someone else, and they sell them under their name?

    I knew one was going bad, but didn’t get around to doing it for a while.
