Another hub question . . .

[GDBSKE]

I have read all the posts in this section and still have a couple of questions. 2000 Sportage, left front hub is leaking vacuum so it won't engage. I called the dealer here and they say it is over $1000 for parts alone??? Is that sound normal? I figured it was just the hub. It is not my car, I am the tech so labor is not the issue. If this is correct I will definitely be looking into the WARN hub option. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The dealer is full of it. Unless the wheel bearings are shot the cost of parts is under $200. See this link....

Warn manual hubs can be ordered thru Advance Auto Parts. The last time I checked they were under $150 for a pair.

Thanks for the info. We are going to go with the Warn automechanical hubs, that will keep the customer happy.
