I thought I found a screaming deal on Amazon for SKF BR930497 hub assemblies, supposedly the best. So much for Swedish Bearing Manufacturing, Elgin, IL. MADE IN KOREA. Another undermined brand name. Should have waited and ordered Timkens. The last set I ordered were still MADE IN THE USA.

when i worked for napa, skf made the better hub assemblies, and had a warranty of 3 years. i don't see them on the rock auto site, but timkins now only carry a 12 month warranty. but moog and ac/delco have a 3 year warranty.

I haven't confirmed this, but i believe the dimensions for C5 corvette sealed hubs are the same for blazer. I had a schematic for the corvette hubs, cant find it now and i believe the bolt circle on the three holes is the same as a blazer. You can find higher quality units for corvette and they also make racing hubs for corvette...

I learned something new today. Didn't occur to me that if I want to go fast safely, I should target parts from a car designed to go fast....

Just went on RockAuto and damnit, today their price dropped below Amazon's. Crap. They were $168 last weekend, driving me to Amazon.
I did, however, note that SKF warrants their hub assemblies the same as Moog - 3 years. Timken - 12 months. :doh:

Here are the low-cost options from RockAuto for comparison. You could cross-reference these on Amazon and see if shipping makes a difference. The RWD version is what you need.
