Does it occur when the car is moving? Sounds like your bearing may be going out.

yea it happens around 25mph and up. If it is the bearing is that an easy fix?
Could be tire noise.

If you can get it off, yes. I probably beat and pulled on mine for 4 hours before i got if off finally.
Jack the wheel off the ground, spin the tire/wheel by hand. If it's making noise it might be the wheel bearing (this test would eliminate tire noise issues). Any brake shop can probably replace that. You can DIY. Check with Max or RockAuto etc for pricing.
Others have mentioned testing it in a left hand turn, does it sound more on the right side? If turn right, does it make less sound on the right side? If so, it's leading to a bad passenger wheel bearing.
If it is a wheel bearing... get it replaced ASAP!

Is this all I need or do I need something else with it

Thats all you need. I would recommend doing both sides. Its very easy to change yourself, sometimes after you remove the bolts it doesnt want to come out but a little persuasion with a hammer does the trick. I jacked up my car and grabbed the top and bottom of the wheel, shook it back and forth, and noticed a little play in the bearing.

Has anybody tried the ebay ones? If so please let me know how they are.
Not sure where you are located but if the car has seen any winters it may be a pain to remove the hub. I had to use a torch and hammer the thing out. Check this post out, especially #25, it will come in useful if the hub is stuck.

Have you noticed anything wrong with them? How do they ride?
Haven't noticed anything wrong, it seemed good upon visual inspection before I installed it. It rides good but then again I think my hub was bad for a while so any thing is better than it was. Its been in since memorial day and I haven't had any problems with it.

So I did my front hubs yesterday and everthing went really easy
. The hubs came right out once i took off the forth bolt(thank god). I thought I was going to have to pound on it for a while after reading about it on other threads. I also decided to put on my stock rims again and get rid of the 20s. If anybody is interested in buying them let me know and ill put up some pics.
