Anybody bought any Vette parts from an Ebay seller that goes by thepartsladi? In particular have you used the rear wheel hub assembly and how has it been if so?

John, I have bought a few thigns from her and have had no issues. On some things she is cheaper than dealer cost, others she is priced at 10-15% above dealer cost.

I am going to try the hubs in the back from her. Half of what everyone else wants. Her feedback is the best I have ever seen 6,000 plus transactions and 100% positive.

Thanks Jeff.

She has some hubs that OEM GM, and some others that supposidly made by precision bearings which make the OEM hubs. So check them out and let us know.

I am going to get the ones from precision bearing. I probably won't do this for awhile, but will get 'er done over the next couple of months for sure.

I have been running the GM ones from her all summer long. So far, so good.

Thanks for the replies. Jeff, I remembered you saying something about the partsladi at the Gathering West now. Guess that's why I looked maybe.

Well, I ordered the precision hub bearings from the Partsladi and they arrived in a very timely manner. They are nice and include new wheel lug bolts. I got the right one on yesterday and everything went well. For everones information on this install:

I could not get the torx bolts to break with an air impact, I had to use the wrench to break them loose. Once they broke I was able to pretty much remove them by hand.
Cleaned the bolts on the wire wheel and reinstalled them. Everything went back together well.

Even managed to get the torx bolts torqued. A little imagination with the extensions allowed the wrench to be used. Be sure to jack the car up as far as needed to allow complete turning of the torque wrench.

That's all folks. Next on the list is fixing the steering wheel. It jockeys from side to side. Loose pin way down inside. Not really looking forward to this one, but must be done.
