Best hubs

[Jeff Krawczyk]

hi guys, today I noticed a slight vibration in my steering wheel while turning, ( truck is lifted 6) so I'm assuming that may be time to replace the hubs, although I could be wrong but whats your thoughts on a good strong hub? And should I just do the cv shafts as well while I'm there lol....thanks

How many miles are on it and how many since lifted?

Timkens are a good hub, however I hear the OEMs are great hubs too. Are you running wheel spacers?

No...no wheel spacers

I did just look under the truck and seen that one of the clamps came off on the cv shaft...is that normal, im assuming I could just get a hose clamp and clamp back on

Clamps don't necessarily just loosen, but it's possible. Yet, I've had a couple over the decades, but nothing to worry about.

I'd rotate your tires before condemning any specific part.

Obviously, check tire pressure too.
