What is a good replacement hub for Cobra swap. I'm sick of these cheap chitty hubs going bad on me all the time.
Good Cobra front hub/bearing

Timken is the oEM maker. Does Ford still make a cobra hub? Go with Ford if you can find it. There is a reason they last 100,000 miles.

Yep you can, they are the same except for the spacing on wheel studs is 4.5" instead of 4.25"...i think

Strangely enough, my right front hub assembly on my 94 GT was bad @ 140k...... but the drivers side is still good @ 235k.... odd
Seemed like the passenger assemblies always went bad first from several cars I've been around. Not quite on topic but thought it to be some strange tidbit of info

I concur with timken.
Don't have to specify cobra, same as any mustang 94-04 (for fronts).
A lot of times passenger side goes first cause more abuse such as curb checks when parking.

Ok, so in order to use 03-04 cobra wheels I need to get Mustang hubs. What would be the best more reliable option? OEM? What else do I need besides the hubs?
My fron left hub bearing is messed up, Im not sure of its mileage but my LS has over 180k.
In my case, its the wheel that takes the most stress. Ive been counting, as most of my driving is highway, for each left turn I make 3-5 right turns. That plus high speed turning jumping from one highway to another ( pretty nice curves down here in Miami ) equals way more stress on the drivers wheel that the rest. Thats why when rotating wheels my front left is going to the back right.
I do nkt turn the wheel without moving the car, as it puts a lot pf stress on the steering pump if I do. If space is tight I still move the car slightly to turn the wheel.
