Default Front Wheel Bearings
I have a 1993 and need front wheel bearings. Is there a way to just to the bearings or do you have to replace the whole hub assembly? Thanks.

The whole hub has to be replaced. It sucks I know, I am going through the same thing. I like how you used to be able to buy $12 bearings, pace them with grease and your dont. Now you need a $150 assembly.

Rock Auto has Timken front hubs for $157 ish I think. It you race your car I would check to see if these can handle it (I posted a topic on it just today), otherwise they should be good for the street.
