I have a 2002 Explorer Sport with 90k miles.
When I come to a gradual stop on dry pavement, the ABS engages giving the characteristic stutter. I took it to my local Ford dealer and they said the left front wheel bearing and ABS sensor needed to be replaced. They wanted $800 to install a new wheel hub with ABS sensor.
I see that after market wheel hub/sensor combos go from $60-200.
I have 2 questions:
1. How difficult is it to change the wheel hub. I have changed the brake pads and rotors on the truck, so I know how to remove and install the caliper and rotor. From reading the shop manual, removing the hub after the caliper and rotor is off looks easy, buy I would like to hear from someone with experience.
2. Which brand hub is the best. I'm not looking for the cheapest, but the best value.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
