I have some play in the right front wheel hub according to the mechanic who did my alignment. With 164K on the body, I figure the left front and both rear hubs are probably not far behind. Does any one know the life expectancy of the wheel hubs? Where can I find new ones at the best price? Any help would be appreciated!
Junkyard is best price, dealer for quality.
I've not had to do any work on my hubs and have 240K miles on my 94 ES. I would assume play in the front hub is because of a bad wheel bearing or because the the wheel bearing isn't adjusted correctly. Are you sure you need to replace the hub?

Talked to the parts guy at the dealership and the wheel hubs usually don't have problems, so looks like I will be replacing just the one.
