Default Wheel bearing question

Hello all,

2006 4.7 4x4. Truck started making some what of a grinding noise when I知 turning left. Sounds like it is coming from the front drivers side tire. When I知 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知 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稚 have abs. Can I simply remove the sensor and still use the assembly?
The hub assembly I知 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.

Make sure you get either Moog or Timken hubs.
