Hi Guys – new to the forum, but long time ST owner. I’ve concluded that the front wheel bearing on the pass side is bad, and I see it is an assembly – no way to change out just the bearing.
Who has experience with the replacements from the Chain auto parts stores?
Advance has two versions:
1) “Driveworks” wheel hub assembly for $ 106
2) “National” front hub $216
They look identical, but twice the price????
Any experience with these brand hubs?
As usual the reviews on the site are all over the place – the cheap one is either good as factory – or ready to explode in two miles….(although more positive than neg reviews….)
I have 139K on this truck and reading the forums, it looks like I’m lucky to have made it this far on the bearings.
