Default Struts n Hubs...

Ok so YAY this is the fun fact of buying a used car with so many miles... add another problem to the list..

Heard a squeal i did some search pretty sure its hub assembly. While looking at this problem I noticed yay i have a busted spring.. major busted... So I found Moog strut assembly w/ new springs.. thats not the problem..

my problem... Im trying to search but coming up more confused... I need hubs I might as well do both sides..

05 f150 xlt 5.4 4x4
3 Choices...
7 Lug (not that one I have 6 lugs)
6 lug to date 11/28/04
6 lug to 08/20/05

one of the 6 studs are marked LT at the store.. what does that mean.

LT normally means light truck

edit: perfect time for a lift or level kit too since you'll have the steering knuckle off and the strut out

i don't see see lt referenced on napa's website... you just have to make sure it's for a 4x4 since the 2wd ones are different and it's not the heavy duty package... also you need to know the build date because your 05 could have been built before 11/28/04 here's a link to a door jam sticker https://www.f150forum.com/f33/decode...er-04-a-29683/
the long number at the bottom middle "2200504015958" means that truck was built 2005 in April

it might be on the door or the door jam... they normally aren't in the same place as the tire and load information... you "might" be able to find it with a vin decoder; however, mine no longer comes up on those and it's an 06
