Lightbulb Front Wheel Bearing

Hey guys, I was wondering whether or not I could just buy the entire hub assembly so I don't have to go through the trouble of replacing the wheel bearing (time).

Also found a bad *** website, full of exploded views.

the wheel hub is harder to replace...bearing is easier..just need to know what you are doing its pretty quick and cheaper.

Well I saw in the DIY that you need to have special tools that I don't have. I think I'm just going to break it down to the last step and bring it to someone for them to fix.

Does anyone know the specific part numbers I'll need for the (FL) side.

Well SOB, a new set of pads, a new set of rotors, and almost a new wheel bearing later (props to Aliga for the quick response!) I figured out the issue.

APPARENTLY YOU CAN'T JUST LOOK AT STRETCHED TIRES AND SEE THAT THEY'RE LOW ON AIR.

I was driving down the road testing it just a second ago and thought "hey I've heard this noise before, it's not mechanical, I heard it at the drag strip when my tires were low".

Get out look at the tires, they look good. Check the PSI, 15 LBs.... if there were a SFW expression I had on my face, I would show it. But I think I used every word in the book.

Moral of the story, check the basics first. :/
