^agreed. Welcome to the age of non-serviceable wheel bearings.

Another good reason to go aftermarket.

How do you go aftermarket for a hub/bearing assembly which contains the tone ring for the ABS system and integral to the steering knuckle?

If you are aware of an aftermarket set up that is serviceable I would love to know about it. (no sarcasm here I am serious)

It's easier to get the whole hub assembly. That way you're mostly guaranteed that the assembly will last.

I'm not even sure you can get just the bearings, I know on the Dodge assembly (almost the same part) Timken stopped selling just the bearing.

Gotta get the whole hub assembly. I went with a Moog one from summit racing for 155$ shipped. Super easy install, probably around 30 minutes.

the one wheel is getting the rolling roar. I was hoping a little grease would quiet it down
