Wheel Hub Assembly Review

1out of 5

Pros: None

Cons: Made from Low Grade Steel, Poorly engineered, Inferior Chinese Bearings

Best Uses: On a boat back to China

Car & Truck: Metal Fabrication, Mechanic

Reviewer Comments: My cousin asked me to look at her 2002 Chevy Trailblazer because it had a grinding sound coming from the front wheels. 6 months ago she paid a local repair shop to install both front hub assemblies because of the same problem. After determining that the problem was coming from the hubs, I removed both of them, and was mortified at what I discovered after only 6 months of use. Grease or any sign of it was non-existent, and quite a few bearings had been reduced to powder. The hub on the passenger side was darn near ready to separate which would mean the wheel would literally come off while it was going down the road.

Curious about who, and how they had installed these hubs, I got the name from my cousin and took the 2 hub assemblies to that shop. I talked with a nice fellow named Pete who owned the shop, and had installed the hubs. I then told him my cousin only 6 months ago had him install the 2 hubs I handed him. He looked at them and said wow, then looked up the work order and found that he had purchased the hubs at Advance Auto, and they were a brand called NTP. He placed the worst hub in a vise and used a small pry bar to separate the assembly without much effort. He assured me that the hubs were installed and torqued to factory repair specifications. Advance offered a 1 year warranty on the hubs, but would only replace them with the same brand. Pete then gave me the total for the whole repair bill, and told me he would get his money back he paid for the hubs. He also stated from that day forward he would only install premium brand hub assemblies even if it meant loosing business. I think he was as shocked as I was.

I then purchased and installed some hub assemblies made by National that were assembled using Timkin bearings. Please, Please, Please….be very careful when buying critical steering and chassis replacement parts. Most manufacturers that import automotive parts (and other things)are only concerned about making maximum profits by using cheap materials and third world slave labor. You have to look out for yourselves………..not everyone else will.

PS…..Just to see if Pete was honest, I called a few weeks later asking if he would install some NTP hubs that I purchased at Advance Auto. He stated that I was welcome to bring in my own hubs, but I must have proof that they had premium bearings and seals by Timkin, BCA, Federal Mogal, etc, or I should take them elsewhere.

Active Energy Enhancing Multivitamin with Ginseng Tablets Review

Review of the Day – 03/18/2011
Review date: Jun.082010
Review by: Shell from Ann Arbor, MI
I am: First Time User, 22 Years Old, Full courseload of HW, College student, Health Conscious, Lacking Energy
4 stars
4out of 5

Pros: Effective, Gives you energy, Makes you feel healthy, Easy To Swallow, Simple To Take

Cons: Remembering to take it

Best Uses: Daily Use, Supplement A Meal, Older People, Women, Female College Students

Reviewer Comments: A week before trying this product, I was very lazy and could barely focus on my homework because of “college burnout” feeling. Anyone who is a college student would know what the feeling is like. You just can’t perform as well as you’d like to on a test because you’re tired of putting the effort into it. I’m in my last year of college at a prestigious college and I have a 4.0 GPA. I started looking for a vitamin because I figured I should start taking a multi-vitamin every day. I saw “Active Mind and Body” by One a Day and thought I’d give it a try because I’ve been really struggling this semester. Using it on Day 1 I could already experience a big difference. I didn’t have that tired feeling that I did in the past. I performed a lot better on my homework and could understand my exams better (you know those true and false are tricky!).

My Routine:
*Wake up around 9:00 (instead of 10:30-11:00)
*Eat Breakfast (usually a bagel with cream cheese)
*Pop in a vitamin
*Do HW!

The results are fascinating. I read other reviews before writing my own review… If someone had stomach problems or had gotten sick due to the vitamin it was probably because they did not eat. Another issue is that some women cannot handle vitamins in the morning (just like pregnant women) so take them in the afternoon with a bigger meal if this is you. :) Hope this helps.

Another note: I had really bad gastroparesis (stomach paralysis) last year and I do not have any problems with this vitamin whatsoever.
