Wheel hub

[Rick Kent]

Got the classic hum/rumble that goes away when I turn right. It's a steady hum/rumble that does not increase in pitch with speed after it becomes noticeable at 15mph. Likely it is the wheel hub bearing gone bad on my 02 4wd.



I am thinking it is the drivers side since the symptoms go away when I turn right but I'll let the shop put it on the lift and confirm which side it is.



What brand of wheel hub is everyone thinking is the best? Rock Auto has a Value Pro that runs about $48 to the Moog at about $142 and Motorcraft for $160. I heard Raybestos is re-branded from another company but I am not sure which one. Timken seems to be in the middle of the price range at a little over $100.



Thanks for any input.

I've got no experience with 4WD Tracs, but would not buy the lowest priced parts.

I went with Timken about 59,000 miles ago and I am satisfied with them.

Amazon has the Raybestos for $77.38, and Timken for $116.11. I'll probably be going with the Timken once mine get a little worse.

Timken is the brand I used, it is the same part number used for the F150.

I was sold. . .
