Question ABS Front Wheel Bearings

I am going to order 2 front wheel bearings due to front end noise. How do I tell if my truck has ABS? TIA

Do you have a wire coming from your front wheel bearing? if you do, you have abs! I bought timken wheel bearings and they are doing great.

Agreed. Check for a wire coming from the bearing assembly

Thanks guys.

I have one more question. Did you replace the bearings and not the whole assembly? If so, what tools are needed? A press?

Thanks again.

You can only buy the whole bearing assembly. It's just 3 bolts on the back of the spindle. BTW, 2wd and 4wd trucks use the same part. IF you are 2wd then its super easy. If 4wd, then you have to remove your CV axle. I found it easier to break loos the upper ball joint to get enough room to pull the CV's out of the wheel bearing.
