Discs & Hubs needed ASAP! 120-130

If I understand you right I'll offer this advice.

When I needed front brake discs for my '67 estate I bought a new pair from my local Volvo dealer. They actually had the BEST price plus 10% off for volvo club participants, although they did not ask to see my id. They did not have them in stock but found them at 2 other dealers, one as far away as Texas, and had them for me the next day. Cost, a little over $400. with tax and shipping.

What's wrong with the hubs? Can you just replace the bearings/races or are they beyond that? Bearing sizes are pretty much universal and each bearing and race is usually clearly marked so they are easy to find and replace. Even unmarked units can be measured and matched. If this is the case find a bearing specialist in your area for the replacements. They are almost always less expensive than OEM and usually have the parts on hand or only a day away.

Threaded studs can be relpaced as well.

Just what are reconditioned discs? Any auto machine shop can balance the discs if this is necessary. I've never heard of anyone doing that after purchase though.
