I have a 2001 1500 5.9 2WD And it is in need of a front passenger hub assembly. Now at the risk of sounding like a cheapskate I was looking and there was a WJB online that is ridiculously cheap and I was wondering are they cheap because they are bad parts? If so what would be a good alternative without breaking the bank? I appreciate you guys and all of your answers and advice it does me a lot of good.
Never heard of 'em..... So, no opinion here. Are there any reviews????
Also, keep in mind, that is what holds your front wheel/tire on the truck..... Going 'dirt cheap' probably isn't the best plan. Another question would be, how often do you want to replace it? I would just as soon go with a good quality brand, replace it once, and be done with it.

Do you have a link to the part? How hard to you push your truck?
Have a look on rock auto and see what's available and the price ranges.
WJB or IMP Seems to be a new parts supplier that popped up. Nowhere on their site could I find where anything was made. CA company with a warehouse in NC. So did some searching for their parts boxes and sure enough, Made in China.

Try finding parts that AREN'T made of Chinesium. I'm seeing some made in Vietnam lately and some in India, but China has been doing this long enough to have a lock on the market.
I couldn't find the link I had earlier. My truck just hit 300,000 miles so I don't push too hard. It is my daily driver but I drive far less than I have in the past. This is my pride and joy so I am just gonna get the quality parts. I bought it for $1,200 and have dang near replaced EVERYTHING. I am learning my way around all the auto so I appreciate every one of y'all's pieces of advice. Seriously guys thanks!
Not to get political but I don't see this changing even if there are tariffs. I know Timken makes stuff here but they also do overseas. When I replaced my hubs(quite a few years ago) they said "Made in the USA". I would be more inclined to buy from a long time, Well know manufacture than one that just popped up getting parts from China.
