Trailblazer Wheel Hub

Posted by admin

Have been getting alot of inquiries on Chevrolet Trailblazer Wheel Hubs recently. Don’t be alarmed. Looking at some sales data, it looks as though they are failing frequently.

A couple of things to keep in mind. Best to go with a new wheel hub unit. You never know what you are getting with used. As always, go with a good supplier or you’ll be in trouble. I like CarPartsWarehouse.com (1-800-565-5021) for a couple of reasons. 1. Best price to quality ratio. 2. because you can talk to someone that knows parts and 3. The big one for me; they are in the same building as the parts. They can walk out and look at anything you need.

Good news is that installation on a hub bearing assembly is straight forward. Get the car raised and the tire off. Its pretty straight forward. A good mechanic can do 1 in 10 minutes are the car is lifted. A backyard mechanic can do it, Just leave yourself and hour or so.
