Hi all, my front passenger wheel bearing needs replacement as does the ball joint.

It's never happened on my 2003 Max until now, so Im a bearing n00b. Do I buy the whole hub assembly, or can I be okay replacing just the bearing and retainer? I presume it has to be pressed out/in?

Thanks in advance for any insights and counsel.

 

Get a new hub, bearing, and two seals.
Timken is a good brand.

You'll need it pressed in.

I recommend just taking off the whole knuckle and bring it to a shop with your new parts.
