I took a deposit on my 94 VP with 98600 miles. It went for an inspection and the buyer says his shop said it needed new hubs. The front end does feel a bit like it needs to be aligned but drives comfortably at 80+ MPH. 1) Is it common to have this type of problem at 100K miles? 2) What should it cost to fix?

The hubs hold the bearings. The only reason I can think of that they'd need replacing is if the bearing cups "spun" in the hubs, thus damaging them.

It shouldn't be hard to source good used hubs.

Assuming we're talking about front hubs, not rear.....

I'll guess at $100 for two used hubs, $80 for new bearings, $25 for seals, and 3 hours labor
