driver's side wheel bearing suspected bad. help!

[mr. anderson]

anyone on here have a idea how much one of these costs? mine is making noise. it just started, I have no suspension mods done and 28K miles on the truck. any vendors here sell them?


also, was there a recall or TSB done on these for the 05's 28k seems a little low mileage for bearing to go bad.

thanks!

what kind of noise should i look for to identify a bad wheel bearing?

 

[mr. anderson]

J sandlin, my symptoms were a random squeeling at random speeds. I jacked up the left front and pulled the tire, I was hoping it was the brake pads. nope, spun the hub and it gave out the bad bearing squeel as it turned the hub.

FYI for those out there. part number is :

68030387aa

it is a wheel hub/ bearing assembly and can be used on either right or left front

part was $211 shipped from avondale, thanks patrick and john!
I'll replace it myself.
just three bolts once the wheel and caliper are off.
