I dont want the new ones to go bad in a year....not after $400 for a new set.
OR who has the cheapest price on the entire assembly (other than a junkyard)???

Thanks!

I had to replace mine last year on the left side.
Yes they are that high in price new and nobody make aftermarket for them, so I went to the local salvage yard and got one for $30.00!!
I just made sure car was wrecked on the right rear, and the blazer I found also had VERY low miles (15,900)!
It was $60.00 in labor for the part!
What a steal!

Again, try www.gmpartsdirect.com but be aware that they will hit you hard for shipping. They seem to sell at cost and the profit is in the shipping rate. Looking at the new Colorado, these ridiculous prices for unitized parts are just starting.

Try Auto Zone, Advance Auto or Carquest. Auto zone was the cheapest but had none in stosk(140.00), CarQuest(HUTCHINS) had them in stock. Part number on box 513124(170.00). This is for 99 Blazer 4x4.

Just bought my first front hub/bearing assembly yesterday at Autozone. Timken for 128 bucks here in NC. My how the price has dropped in the past year. This is for a 1996 4x4 Blazer.
