Help?

My front wheel bearing on my 95 chevy k1500 pickup is bad but my question is can you replace just the wheel bearing because when i shop on autozone, or advance they only sell the whole assembly which is expensive. please help

it sounds like it coming from my right side but i checked it and there is slop in the driver side wheel is this normal? its the hub assembly right?

they only sell the whole assembly

Not too sure on the '95, but this should be correct.

There should be no play in the wheel.

mmk if i turn right and it makes this noise it means it is the left wheel bearing correct?

[suzuki-guy]

could play be due to ball joints? if so ball joints wouldnt make this noise so could it still be the assembly

to check ball joint, jack the truck up on stands under the frame, let the wheels hang. use a long steel bar under the wheel and lift on the bar. if you feel poping when you lift, its ball joints. With the wheels hanging, unlock the steering, put your hands the 3 and 9 and try to rock the wheel, don't need to turn the steering wheel, also put hands at 12 and 6 and try to rock the wheel. If there is ANY movement that is too much and you have a wheel bearing problem.

mmk no popping but there is play at 9 and 3 and 12 and 6 i just want to make sure before dumping money into it!! its making a growling noise when i turn right and abs light is on and the abs engages for no reason sound like hub assembly? when you turn right and it makes noise its the left bearing right?
