I really need to replace the front wheel bearings/hubs on my truck. This weekends offroading trip made me realize how bad they've gotten.

I've looked at a couple of places but these things are EXPENSIVE! Rockauto lists them for $274 each. I don't really want to pay that much, but I don't want some cheap *** china units either. I want high quality Timken bearings, but don't really wanna pay Ford's premium prices, I will if I have to but I was wondering if anyone knew a cheaper place to get the GOOD hubs.

 

rockauto was 118 for me...

Edit: for kevoo's fx4 too

 

Well thanks for that bit of info.

If I look at the Timken unit listed for a 2005 FX4 its is actually $118 for the one I need. I wonder why they don't list that unit for the 2003 entry.....

The BCA/National brand listed for the '03 costs $274, Whats the difference in it and the Timken unit that its needs to cost that much more?

 

Couldn't tell you why they are different.

I'd go w/ the one for 118 and call it a day :)

I believe I looked up the one for an 03 and it came up as Timken $118...it is universal to all late model RBV though.

 

Be careful with the years if you still have ABS. The ABS sensors that come with new hub/bearings wont work from 01-03 to 04+.

Make sure to get your correct year or the ABS will shut itself down and the light in the cluster will be on.

 

let me know what year ranger you pulled your hubs from and I'll check out the price at work
