Cool New wheel hub assembly

I have 152,618 miles on the odo. Not many problems with the truck except for dirty MAF sensor, bad spark plug. But right now my truck tracks to the right. I need to replace the front wheel hub assemblies. Any advice would be great. However, I am unsure if I have front ABS, as the hubs are different. Is there a way I can find the answere with the vin number or door sticker? Or do I have to check the hub? And if I have to check the hub, what am I looking for?

im pretty sure from the late 90's and up the f150s came with standard 4wheel abs
but you should be able to check the axle for an electrical connection.. also when you turn the key you should get the abs light on the dash

If it has ABS there will be a wire running to it... Is it 4x4? Ether way it's pretty easy if it's the same as mine there's just 3 bolts on the back then it slides right out...

Default fron ABS

It's a 4x4, and I know it has rear ABS, but how do I find out if it has 4 wheel ABS?

If I remember right, its a white cased wire he should be looking for right? it may be dirty now. Or is the replacement ones only white, and the factorys are a different color? Either way, you will know. As far as replacing, jacob hit it right on the nuts. very simple job

I think they are all white... If not it should be pretty easy to see it would be the only wire going anywhere near the hub... And it's pretty small...
