If you have 2wd, I believe you can just replace the bearing. AWD and Auto-4wd, yes you have to replace the whole hub assembly, which also includes a new ABS sensor.
This question has been covered a thousand times before. Please do a little digging before posting a new thread. This board is getting cluttered with tons of duplicate/redundant posts that cover the same thing over and over.
...and before you ask how to do the job, look in the stock and modified 1995-2001 sections. You will find the info there, if you look.
Yes, as stated you need to replace the whole assembly. The tapered bearing in it is integrated into the mounting plate, so you can't replace the bearings. I've pressed the assembly apart before to check.
Sealed units. As a result you do need to get a complete hub assembly. Contact 1ATony, one of our vendors. I'm sure he can offer you a better price than autozone, advance, etc..
Until 2012.... When the end of the world comes, and when FL. gets 2ft of snow (or volcanic ash...) in an hour. Then how will you escape the hell hounds and hordes of ravenous zombies? Huh, Mr. 2wd smarty pants? What then?
