yea that is pricey? do u have 4wheel antilock brakes?
if u do then the are pricey if not, they shouldn't be that expensive, i personally don't like autozone cause eveytime i go there they give me the wrong part or it wont fit (i.e. the fitting for my brake lines wouldn't fit in the brake cylinders i got from them) i prefer advance auto

Nope 2 wheel abs and 4 wheel abs was like 10.00 more and I love our auto zone I have the rewards card and spend so much there. A week ago I got a 210.00 rad for 170.00 even ebay couldnt beat it plus they were the only place that had it in stock.

EBAY hub assemblies are chinese made junk. You'll be replacing that sooner than you think. Timken or bust.
