Hey Allen, I hope you read this before you go to the u-pull-it place tomorrow...

Before you take the hub assembly off the scrap yard car, jack it up and (with the wheel still on it) spin it. If it moves sluggishly, check that the hub isn't warped. Front calipers are known to seize on older cars, and when mine did last summer (on the damned highway, no less!) it warped the hub.

Don't fight with the guy at the yard for price, but if he charges you more than $25 or $30 then maybe just get a new one.

I hope all goes well for you!
