    Planning on replacing the hub assemblies on my son's 2011 before he goes back to school. Anyone know if there are any reputable aftermarket replacements for these seals? I ordered them last week to get it done this week, but my dealer says these seals are on 1-2 month national backorder.

    Knuckle....90316-A0001
    CV............90304-A0001

    When I search RockAuto for these, the 90316 comes up with a couple other brands, one of which is Timken 710573. But there are no results for the 90304 at all.

    I have had no issues with Timken bearings in the past when used.

    Yeah, their bearings seem to have a pretty good reputation. I'm about to do the same job on my Avalanche with Timken hubs and bearings. Even so, I'm not sure if they have a replacement for the 90304 seal.

    I may have to look into those if their hubs come with the seals also. Sure would be less headache than trying to source all the parts from different places.

    Edit: Oh, that price is per hub. Ouch!

    Timken 710573 is fine. I've used it on two installations. You can usually trust seals from major bearing mfrs.

    No aftermarket P/N equivalent to 90304-A0001. You can find $50 junk Chineseium CV axle assemblies that have this seal installed, but no luck finding this seal on its own. The seal is pretty flimsy, so I wouldn't try to remove it from a new CV axle. You can get it from eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/325907517416

    Everything is OEM, and come pressed together and ready to install. They are pricey, but with something as important as wheel bearings and hubs, I don't mess around with installing anything less. I had 160K on the originals, I'll likely never have to do it again.

    We've got 154k on it now and bought it at 137k, but unsure of the work done before we bought it. I'm assuming it still has the original hubs and they are just barely beginning to make noise. Not near as bad as my Avalanche where any conversation is practically yelling to be able to hear.
