Does anyone know where the best prices is for a 84-90 front hub assembly. The best I have found is 163.79. Below is a picture of what I am looking for.

Rock auto has them. They are not AC Delco. I think they are made by Timken.

Kevin,

Contemporary Corvette sells AC Delco hubs for $179. Not cheaper but... perhaps better quality?

Nick,
Do you know if those parts are new or salvaged?

Also anyone have opinions between Ac Delco(179-239.91), Bearing Company of America(163.79), and Timken(165.14). These are the only people that make them that I have found so far.

Thanks for the help.

Kevin.

I picked a couple up on Ebay - One I got for $99.99 shipped to me, and the other was $115 shipped. Both were new. Fed Mogul I believe.

I spent 2 years at a Vette resto shop and I can tell you this - DO NOT buy the cheapest Hubs you can find. There are a lot of really poor quality Chinese versions on the market that fail very quickly.
Buy the Delco's it is worth it

Kevin,

They are listed in the "new parts" section which makes me think new. I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask befor ordering.
