New wheels.. but i need some advice.. hub and Bearings???

The guy is putting on my wheels and tires as we speak... but he told me that im going to need hub and Bearings on both sides... how expencive is that going to be.... i should be getting my belltech drop spindles in today and install this weekend... i cand do the hub and Bearings while im at it... how hard is it to do? i also went out last night to get rid of some un needed rubber... and for some reason now i have power steering fluid all over the place!!! so i guess i need to look for a leak... or is there some kind of pressuer relief on the pass side? ill have the vid up and posted as soon as i can.. as well as the pics of the truck with her new shoes!!!

IMO the chrome lips should be removed on the wheel well. black your truck with those rims, they look nice

Hey Chris.....

Nice wheels, and a nice truck ! :-) I agree about dropping the chrome wheel well trim. You could go with black trim, like the new FX4's... or just no wheel well trim at all.

Keep good care of that thing,
Fish

whels and tires look great.i wanted to ask what are they talking about hubs and bearings.all that is there is the brake rotor that the bearing are in and that is on the spindle.there is no hub to replace.i would get a second opinion about that what is wrong with your bearings.are they making noise?have play?that makes no sense.

The berrings... the wheel has play in it.. it moves up and down... i alresdy have the new ones.. they where like $10 each.. + new seals. i cant remember how much they where... its all a project for this weekend....

Oh i took the trim off... looks much better... ill get pics up as soon as my truck clean. It rained yesterday right after i got the last load in my new house.. it was perfect timing... haha
