Hi Mike

Chinese hubs are rubbish, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THEM.
I replaced all four hubs in my 850 at about 200K miles with that stuff .
The machining looked great, the bearings were trash.
They started growling in less than 5K miles.

Then I replaced only the front hubs with OEM grade FAG hubs.
My lousy mileage went from 13-15 around town to 22-24MPG.

Do hubs in sets both fronts, both rears.
Use FAG, SKF ie: OEM grade hubs only!
Do purchase new e-Bolts for the new hubs.
You'll need an impact e-socket.

Bill
