im not sure on the labour cost of a bearing swap, its really easy if your confident with tools. but the bearing/hub is about 300 bucks give or take

 

That's what I was thinking. Lifted trucks tend to wear out steering components faster. They'll be able to tell for sure during the alignment check.

 

oh boy...last time i took it to ford, they told me that my back plates would have to be replaced and that it would cost me over $600 and I took it to an actual brake shop that confirmed that they were full of **** and that my rear brakes weren't sticking....just had to be lubricated from the winter driving


And I was upset since I am a major Ford guy and trust that dealer with both of my cars....can't believe they tried to rip me off

 

the best way to check for a bad bearing is to jack the front end up into the air and grab the wheel at the botttom and pull back and forth. if it wiggles it the bearing. if your truck is 4x4 the bearing/hub is quite expensive. but if you got some tools its easy to change.

remove the front wheel, unbolt the caliper and move it out of the way. now the rotor will be able to slide off. there may be clips on the studs holding it just bend them and remove the rotor. next take the axle nut off and on the back side of the bearing/hub there is 3 bolts. unbolt them and its off. put the new one on and your good to go.

hope you find out what the shake is soon

 

Thanks....That seems easy and yup 4x4. The shaking wasn't happening today as much as last time so I'm still puzzled.
