maybe a new ABS speed sensor?

the wheel bearings are sealed so you wont need any seals. Just a press and some time to do it.

i just replaced my driver side front wheel bearing, it was pretty easy except for the fact that the old bearing was rusted in and it took some force to " crack " it loose .

what you mean the bearing?

easy, just spin the hub around and " feel " for grinding.

it should spin freely with no grinding .

mine would crunch as i spun it, so yeah it was dead.

replaced and now it drives smooth as silk
