Question: front wheel bearings

[f4istunter]

hey
first time posting
just got a 97 gt for 500CAN.

but i get this humming sound from the front left side and know its the wheel bearing but u guys always talk about buying a new hub when in previous cars i had u can just knock out the bearing and use the same hub., and simply pound in the new one
as i dont have tons of money as i just put on a new waterpump yesterday(85can) id liek to just get the bearing itself and swap it out
let me know if this is duable

The hub & bearing is all one piece so you cannot do just the bearing.




Plus there is an ABS wheel sensor integrated in.

thanks, anyone know where to find one for the best price?

[gprixgtp]

Best quality or best priced? There is a big difference. If you do not go with Delco, then make sure you get either a BCA(Federal Mogal) or a CR bearing assembly. Do not I repeat do not get a white box or an Autozone special. You will be doing it twice.

ok so got sum prices
179CAN for the cheap one im guessing, or 279CAN(for better one) at UAP
and i got 329CAN at Canadian tire......
guess im gonna wait till it blows out till i fix it lol

mabye ill try the wreckers and try to find one with little or no kilometers on it
i could prolly walk out paying 30 bucks for one
one more quikc thing, will i have to do an allingment after i swap the hub?

I wourk for a Delco distributor in Flint, MI, and I can get you a delco for $151 (US dollars)+ s/h. I assume you are in Canada, so if you PM me with your Canadian postal code, I can get you a shipping quote.

Boneyard is a good idea but since you are up North rust will be a problem.

Probably not. I never did but it probably won't hurt on the alignment.

Richtazz has the best deal on AC Delcos.

I'm confused, but I used a 3 jaw puller to get mine off.

hey
well end result was..... just put the whole spindle on, only took like 45 min to do. hardest part was prying down with a pole on the control arm to drop the lower ball joint out of spindle.. other then that it was easy
