Wheel bearing hub replacement

Hello all, just purchased an 06 f150 lariat sight unseen with more problems that I was hoping for.

need to replace the front wheel bearing hub assemblies but for the life of me, I can’t seem to find one that fits the rwd. Searched everywhere, learned the best aftermarket brands (motorcraft, timken, moog…) but can’t find a part number that fits anywhere.

Is it the same as for the 4WD? Can anyone help with a part number?

Normally the bearings come pressed into new rotors. Most have Chinese bearings that don't last. Got Timken bearings from RockAuto and haven't had any bearings problems for over 100000 miles. You have to have a press or take rotors to machine shop. 2005 F150 5.4 3V 2WD

RWD F150s have a one piece hub and brake rotor. The 4wd uses a separate hub and rotor. Many replace the rwd one piece unit with kits to make them 2 piece so the rotors can be changed without replacing the hub. I did this on the 04 I had and used a kit by Centric. Sorry, it was a while ago and I don't remember the part numbers.

Centric 2 piece hub and rotor kit:

Requires new spindle nut:

Replace the pads. Spindle nut torque is 295 ft/lb (yes, this is not a typo). If you ever have to replace the rotors again, get 4wd rotors.
