99 ranger hub assembly problems
well, this is crap. the bearings are gone and as far as i can tell (and from what i have read) they are a sealed unit. well which ones should i get, and how hard are they to put in. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

ell i am getting a thumping sound when i drive down the road, as if the lug nuts are loose and the wheel is rattling. so i jacked up the front pass side and was it loose. i could EASILY move the tire back and forth. the balljoints and everything else were tight. what was moving was the hub assembly inside the knuckle. the whole thing would move including the cv joint etc. like it was about to fall off!! so i figured it had to be the bearings and when is een the cost i near pooped myself! i found a timkin, at autozone for 220.00, and a BCA at kragen for 323.00. they both have the same part # are they both the same product?? also any hints tips etc for doin this? i will be tryin this meself
