Hey guys, I have my 2002 F150 Screw FX4, and both front wheels have a small amount of play. This caused the rotors to unevenly wear, which caused my brake pads to be ****. So I know I need to get the rotors resurfaced and I have brake pads to replace the bad ones. Now for the wheel bearings. What is the deal with those? Can I just buy the bearings and replace them?, or do I have to buy an assembly, what do I do? I have never dealt with them before, so cut me some slack. Thanks fellas

It should be a hole assembly at-least thats how all the newer vehicles Ive worked on have been should be 3-4 bolts holding it on the backside

 

your bearings will be a whole bearing/hub assembly, and they are amazingly simple to swap out.

 

Can anyone give me a link to one for cheap? So at least i can get an idea on what the part is gonna look like and stuff?

 

Just search for it on Autozone.com. Presuming you have 5 lugs, the Duralast version is about $178 (in my area anyway).

Not cheap - it's about 250 bucks.

 

Simple, Yes. Cheap, No. Both went at the same time? Talk about crap luck! Good luck man.

Thanks bro, I found the wheel bearing and hub assembly at my local autozone (Duralast) for $138.99 a piece. So adding those two together, the idler pulley that is fixing to go out, the resurfacing of my front brake rotors, all of it comes out to be around $300. I already have new brake pads to put on. I'll give an update and let you guys know when I do the wheel bearings. I'm gonna do the idler pulley today most likely. Thanks for all the help

PartsGeek has FEQ brand for $114.00 plus shipping. I don't know how good the FEQ parts are.

Ah, I see you found a good price on a set through your local distributor.

 

That's not bad at all considering Timkens are well over $200 each.

 

And I paid $250 to fix my left side from Napa. Do you have all wheel ABS or no? That may be the difference.

 

Timkens are available through Amazon for under $160.00 shipped.
