[Healeys] Splined Hubs

[BJ8 Healeys]

I bought a splined hub from Moss for the right front a few months ago that I have not had any problems with.  A previous one I bought from Healey Haven in Baltimore a few years ago caused a rotor wobble and chirping sound that only disappeared when I reinstalled the old one.  Healey Haven would neither acknowledge the problem, examine the bad hub, nor refund the $175 I paid for it, even though they inadvertently admitted they had another one with the same problem.
