Hello all,

2006 4.7 4x4. Truck started making some what of a grinding noise when I’m turning left. Sounds like it is coming from the front drivers side tire. When I’m turning left and it starts to grind, I can either turn the wheel more or less, and the noise will disappear. But if I keep it in that same spot as i continue to turn the grinding noise will stay.
My initial thought is a failing wheel bearing. I’m parking the truck for the summer in the next week or two, so I will crawl under there for a better look.
In the mean time, I stated searching for a replacement wheel bearing hub assembly. All the ones on rock auto I find, are equipped with abs sensors. My truck doesn’t have abs. Can I simply remove the sensor and still use the assembly?
The hub assembly I’m looking at now is the WJB #WA513229.
Has anyone else used this assembly? Or recommend another brand.

Thanks.

 

I see lots of hubs on RA. The base model is 2 wheel ABS - only the REAR wheels have ABS in that case. Just get a hub that is for 2 wheel ABS and the pictures don't show any wires. Yes the picture isn't definitive, but hopefully will soothe some ruffled feathers.

 

Got ya, that makes sense, thanks.

 

Make sure you get either Moog or Timken hubs.
