Wheel Bearings 07 4x4 Help

Hey guys, i need some help. Ive done alot of searching and came to the conclusion that i have a bad wheel bearing. Loud kind of grinding noise when i turn my steering wheel slight left all the way to full left. Jacked truck up and i have some play in my wheel.

I have a 07 STX 4x4.

Now heres my issue, after reading hundreds of threads, seems like, most of them say that with 4x4's you can replace the bearings and not the entire hub assembly. Is that true? I've called local auto store and was told it came up on his computer as the hub only. And if you can replace just the bearings what size, and best place to get them from?

Any help would really be appricated.

Wow, that sucks. I have 42k miles on the truck, so no warranty. Funds are a little low, just getting back to work after a month and a half off from knee surgery, so my question is, Is this an immediate issue or with a little care can i get by with it for a couple weeks?

Wouldn't that be covered under the powertrain warranty?
