Front Wheel Bearings

[ozo]

I live&work in Saudi Arabia (small military town right up the north west corner near Jordan/IraqXplorer, but the problem is theres no tech support,
The problem you may be able to help me with is, on smooth roads i'm getting a slight thumping from the frnt l/h hub assy at 80-100 kph, i suspect a wheel bearing is on the way out, I went to the dealer and looked in there parts book and found that the wheel bearing was not illustrated, only the hub assy, disk assy, backblate, hub carrier(suspension arm) and drive shaft(cv).
Does this mean that the hub assy comes as a sealed unit with bearings and is not able to be serviced or greased?, if so, to replace the front wheel bearings will i have to change the entire hub assy?.

The truck has done 75k, drop us a line if you can shed any light on to my problem .

You are correct the Hub assembly is one whole sealed piece. It comes with ABS sensor and all. I know this because I had to replace one on my 97. They say you are supposed to change both sides, but I just changed one side. They cost $175.00 each.
The whole thing is bolted on by three bolts, which are supposed to also be replaced, but have to be bought separetly. Hope this helps.
