What do I have?
 

I just bought a 2000 F150 ext cab 4x4 Lariat

I can tell my left front wheel bearing is starting to go.

In order to tell what I need to order for parts I guess there's a lot more I need to know about my truck than I do.

How do I find out all the details about my front end, suspension, Abs, etc that I need to know.

(Forgive my lack of knowledge this is my real Ford truck). (And certainly my newest truck.. I'm used to good old carbeurated 2wd pickups.)

Thanks guys

anyone?:confused:

The wheel bearings on 97+ 4x4 IFS suspensions are a sealed non-rebuildable unit. They sell for around $200 each depending what parts stores you have around you. To tell if you have 4 wheel ABS look to see if you have a wire coming off the bearing assembly. The 2 wheel ABS doesn't have this wire. The only other thing you're going to need to know is if you have 12mm or 14mm wheel studs, but since you've got a 2000 you should have 14mm studs. Its only about a 15 min job to replace them. When you order parts just tell them you have a 2000 F150 4x4 with 4wheel ABS and that you need a front wheel bearing assembly. Be prepared to wait for one to be ordered though. I got lucky the 2nd time I had to replace one and they had one in stock, but the first time nobody, not even Ford had one on hand.
