2001 Explorer Sport 4x2. Has a noise coming from front driver wheel. Jacked it up and there is definitely some play in it. I thought it would be a hub assembly. I haven't removed the wheel yet, but it doesn't look like a hub assembly to me. Am I correct? Is it just a set of bearings that I can replace? Thanks in advance!
 






2WD drive just has regular old wheel bearings. No hub assembly.

You'll need inner and outer bearings with races, seals, hi-temp wheel bearing grease and new cotter pins. Maybe new rotors depending on how worn they are. Plan on doing both the left and right sides. If one side's bad the other wont be far behind.
