Default Passenger hub/bearing

This past weekend I realized that I need to replace the passenger side hub / wheel bearing assembly and it appears that the driver side has the ABS sensor and the passenger side does not. Is this normal? I assume this is due to having only RWABS but just wanted to check before placing an order.

Also, the part is about $239 from any parts store and there's a guy on ebay selling them for $99. Has anyone bought these and if so, is there anything I should look out for? For the price I could buy two and still be ahead of buying one at a parts store and probably 3 versus the dealer price.

Thanks.

Thanks eaglestorm. I didn't want to order the wrong thing and didn't know if my truck was missing something or if I had somehow missed the sensor wire sticking out of the hub while I was changing the brakes last weekend.

Chris, I wish I had seen your message sooner because I just ordered one last nite. Thanks.

I have relaced both of mine in the last month and ordered both off ebay for that price. No problems with the parts but be prepared to use the BFH and a chisel to get them off. My drivers side came off easier than passenger side...if you do it yourself be patient. Oh ... remember to put the brake shield on the right way. I got too excited to get things put back toghether and had to take everything apart again. I did figure out that you can put the hubs in without removing the half shaft assembly from the axle.
