I think I have front wheel bearings on one side going bad on my 95 Explorer 4x4. After shopping around for parts, I was shocked to find that prices range from $198.00 each side at Advance Auto Parts to over $250.00 per side at the dealer!! It seems that when replacing these front wheel bearings, Ford requires that everything (wheel hubs with lugs, speed sensor & bearings) must be replaced as an assembly. Has anyone found a source for remanufactured wheel bearing assemblies (new bearings only)? It seems to be a big waste to have to ditch everything just to get new wheel bearings. Ford really needs to have a better idea for this. Any input on this would be appreciated.--- Ray
