Hubs are pretty common on these. The hub is the part with the studs that the wheel attaches to. It is pressed into the wheel bearing. To replace the hub the bearing will need to be replaced as well. These are pressed in so there not necessarily do-it-yourself friendly. however you can pull the knuckle yourself and bring it in to have the bearing and hub pressed in and out.
