Alright, alright...
Replaced the left front hub yesterday, again. I missed my cruise control.
Lo and behold replacing the O'Reilly's OEM (made in China) with a factory (made in the USA) hub solved the lunging issue.
I went to O'Reilly's with hub in hand and explained and accepted it as a warranty return.
I inspected the hubs prior to installing, nothing really to note. The Chinese hub does have a heavier casting, its thicker and conically shaped adjacent to the hub. The factory hub, definitely less girth and more symmetrical adjacent to the hub.
