Default Skipping Problem

Can anyone help me with a skipping problem? This is how it all happend. One day I was ridding a hill and all of a sudden i change gears and everytime i attempt to pedal it would. Now, I bought New 9 speed chain, New 9 speed Cassette's, and a New Crank. Took the bike out again and there it was again, it was skipping the same as before. First thing to come to my head was, the rear hub insides is not working properly. Am I correct? If thats the problem would I need to buy a new Rear Hub or open it and clean and re-grease it? Or could it be that my crank arms need to be align? Please Help me, i would love any advice..thank you

You say you bought new 9 speed parts, does that mean you replaced old 9 speed parts or did you use to have 8 speed or something else? Are your shifters 9 speed. Are you mixing sram and shimano parts which use different pull ratio's? You need to post much more information but chances are you just didn't adjust your derraelleur properly.

http://sheldonbrown.com/derailer-adjustment.html
Check through all the adjustments, cable routing, housing, ends, bends, etc.
Look at "Autoshifting" description, which "feels like skipping".
If that is what you are dealing with, click that link on Sheldon Brown's site.
If you remove your rear derailer cable from the rear derailer and click through the gears, while pulling on the cable, it should feel smooth and detecting the indexing increments.
All your components should be 9 speed, and of the same manufacture to attain best results.

For best advice list details of all components and their age.
