Hubs are easy to replace. Remove wheel, caliper and rotor. Remove spindle
nut, and pull the hub off. Mine practically fell of in my hads after the
nut was removed. Install new hub, torque the shit out of the new nut
re-install rotor/caliper and wheels and you'r done. Took me all of 15
minutes to do one hub. This was on a 2wd R/T with RWABS. Front wheel ABS
only adds an extra electrical connecter to have to undo and the hub is
slightly more expensive.

Hey, Droo...

<> but I never thought that a bearing would cost me $320 plus labor.<>

YOWZA!

<> He said it was part of a whole assembly that contained some ABS
items.<>

I don't know about 4-wheel ABS, cuz the DAKSY hae RWABS only, but the wheel
bearing/hub assy at AZ is about $140...The labor is a bitch, tho, unless
you've got a pneumatic hammer...I couldn't get either side out with My BFH!
