Looked on Rockauto and Summit and they don't have the front ones.

Is it a whole assembly or something?

Thanks

Yes, check for front hub assembly.

This is actually cheaper than Rock Auto.

Thanks! Strange that it comes with ABS wires and such, one would think the old wires would be fine.

They are all assembled within the Hub, it's a 1 piece design.

Most panthers are fleet vehicles. It makes it much easier and quicker to swap out the entire assembly then start pulling bearings apart.

Anyone here change theirs yet? I'm certain my right front is making noise. 58K WTF.
I had an old P71 that I pounded on daily never had a problem (120K+)

I think I got some wheel cleaner into the bearings. Can I re-grease them? Ugg.

I changed the RH one on my 04 GM. It's simple enough. I learned after I changed it that the hub bearing wasn't the noise after all, it was worn out rear pads! Now I have a spare.

I put the l/f bearing in my 03 a @ 32k. For esp covered repairs.

Thanks I called the dealer and the wheel bearings are apparently covered under my FORD ESP. Taking her in on tuesday. I don't like taking it to the dealer.

It sure looks like and is described in the repair guide as a rear axle bearing hub. I would investigate some more.

Apparently you are too young (or never had a car old enough) to experience the joy of packing wheel bearings with grease. Great fun there!

I'm quite sure Paul has seen it all by now...
