I've got a very slight roar coming from the right front wheel on my car, I suspect it's a wheel bearing but I'm curious if it would be easier to replace the entire spindle knuckle hub?

You do have to pull the knuckle off to do it. But there is no reason to replace the knuckle. If you pull it and take it with a new bearing to a shop they'll press if for you for under $50 I'll bet.

I was told it's easier to buy a knuckle with the bearing already in place than to fool with taking the existing bearing out and pressing a new one in place. I'll do some homework on someone who could possibly press the new bearing before I purchase anything. Thanks

I have a bad wheel bearing but I haven’t had time to repairs it due to COVID-19. Regarding an inclusive assembly, you won’t find an aftermarket wheel bearing/hub that’s already pressed in based on my research. If you find one, please post the link.
