    Does anyone have experience with non OEM hub? The rear driverside hub on my 2011 Prius is about ready to pop off and the alternatives are substantially cheaper (50-180 vs 330 for the OEM) which is enough to maybe justify a shorter lifespan?

    Thank you!

    I've got very good mileage out of Moog. Federal mogul other Asian brands and made to correct standards J or otherwise . Where parts tend to get weird is when these weird strange names facsimiles of other names and things like that start popping up that's when you need to worry and start looking and scrutinizing closely because you're about to get taken generally speaking like with the inverter pumps very similar
