New Problem..bearings??

[jwright4]

03 Ex 50k Miles... i'm getting a humming noise from the front end at 50 - 60mph... I feel it slightly in the wheel too.... if i'm under 50 or over 60mph the sound is not there.... i'm thinking wheel bearing? has anyone replaced these in a 03?? is it the whole hub assembly?? can they be pressed out and back in? Thanks in advance for your help!

Replaced mine on the '02 last year, not uncommon for these ex's.

Is a sealed unit, cannot rework the bearings, have to replace the hub assy. About 170 each. Not cheap, but not too hard to replace.

If you are just starting to feel it, you probably have time to do at your convenience.
