Wheel hub assembly?

Shelby Sport Trac · Mar 3, 2023

Hello, I’m in need of possibly both front hub assemblies. Looking for suggestions of where to buy them. What I’ve found range from $50 to $350 each. Also if anyone wants to recommend some good rotors. I’m shopping for those to.

Hi, JP. your truck looks amazing with the new shoes,, those wheels are the best of any factory wheels by far, and as swshaw mentioned only the fancy models got those. i have been gone for a few days but the wheel hubs and bearings, i used timken and they have been great, as far as stores i had hit and misses with rock auto but they were good back in the day, i now go with napa for important parts, there pricey but you know what your getting. if your towing i would look at beefed up rotors, i went with power stop and they work great too.

For the hubs, I have had the best success with the Motorcrafts from Rock Auto. Went super cheap once on hubs and they did not last. Last time around with brakes and rotors I went with the Bosch pads and rotors and all good. The Wagner Thermoquiet pads are good too.

Thank you Curtis. Napa sounds like a good choice.

Hi, I rebuild my front end 2 years ago. I replaced the hubs, tierods in and out , upper and lower ball joints. I was going to get it all at Rock auto as they were the best price over all by 50 or 60 bucks until they wanted 280 for shipping. I ended up getting everything on Amazon for $ 560 and free shipping, so went with that.Only hard part was trying to get tension bars out of A frames( lower ball joint assembly) easier to buy the whole part so you get new rubber bushings too. Anyway I managed to bang one out but ended up zip cutting the other one out. Don't waste your time just cut them out ok, good luck and take it easy.
