Re: What a good indication you need to replace your hub?
Look for play in the steering system, especially between the relay rod, Pitman and idler arms, and betwen the tie rods and the steering knuckles. Also look for the idler arm moving up & down as the steering wheel is turned...it shouldn't move in that direction. Any of a combo of these worn joints can result in loose steering feeling.
Also look for abnormal wear patterns on your tires...feathered tread blocks or cupping indicates worn or out of alignment steering or suspension components.
The dealer should be smarter than that...find a more reputable shop.
