Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

Hub/Bearing assembly.

Trailblazer and Envoy related, but not off-road related...

I've already replaced one. Now need to do the other. Has anyone used the Duralast hubs from Autozone?

They seem to go in pairs.

I can't say about the Duralast... but the Timkens are holding up well for me so far. Granted, I only have about 10k on them.

Thats what I'm running right now, no issues so far. I figured for the $$$ I could change the duralast twice if necessary. There is no accounting for the Timken name though, those are the only bearings I will run on my Harley.

I just ordered my second one for $46 shipped with sensor wire and everything. Not sure on brand. I have 3-4 thousand miles on the one and it performs flawlessly. Fit well and seemed to be of good quality.

I dont need the passenger, but I do need the sensor so I figured just do the whole thing at that price point. It was 30 for the sensor local or 46 for the package online.

they've always worked for me.

Well I had that failure of a Chinees made bearing W/ the last one I replaced so when I went to Autozone and inquired......I found out the AutoZone brand hub was made in China. I bought a Timkeen.
