'01 Chev Sbrbn 4WD 1500

Told by mechanic the front Wheel Bearing & Hub ***'bly must be replaced. Best to do both sides. Said it was THE source of medium to med-high pitch rubbing noise, which changes w/speed. His price: $800-900 for pair. P+L. ALSO thought it would end ABS and Brake light from lighting up each time I drive a few miles. Any thoughts...? Meanwhile, thought I'd try it:

COUPLE ???s:
-- Seems sort of easy to do...Is it? (as long as bearing & spline don't stick?)
-- RockAuto has several brands. All say they fit. Confused which to get. Timken OK? @ $104/ea...OK price. MOOG @ $137...A/C Delco way more
-- Says there's an OEM style ABS sensor & plug...Should I assume that'll fit my '01 okay?

THANKS!!

 

only do both if both are bad. If there is no play, noise and the abs speed signal is good, replacing a good hub for preventative maintenance is unnecessary.

if you live in a rust belt, it will be seized in the knuckle so leave it to a professional.

a cheap bearing won't last long imo

 

My 2¢ is if cost is a concern only do the bad side, if cost is not a factor then do both sides... if one is out the other may not be far behind...
