Left front hub & sensor are sold as one unitized piece. The price you are quoting needs to be explained please, because a timken hub for your 08 h3 will be about $200 in USA. Installation is a couple hundred bucks more.

If you are on the original hubs at that mileage you hav you done very well. Usually they last about 100,000 miles.

$1000!
Are you getting both sides done, new half shafts and a happy finish too!

Waaaaay to expensive.

I just replaced my hub assemblies.
$179 each from Rockauto.com for AC Delco OEM hubs.
They have Timken assy's. for about $152 each.

See if you can supply the parts to your guy. $750 CAN is really expensive.
