Ok I believe my wheel bearing in the front are going out, squeaking,
the left side will move back and forth about a 1/4".
So how much difficulty is there in changing them out.
and anybody know the best place to get them.

Thanks

 

I have had 3 hub bearings go out on me in 47,000 miles. I have a 4x4. If you are mechanically inclined and have a good assortment of tools. It's not that bad of a job.I have the hub bearing with the abs senser.I bought mine ofEbay for $110.00. Here is a link from the seller I usedfor the hub bearing with no senser.
Good Luck.
