the front wheel bearings and seals are not servicable and will probably have to be replaced. I bought both of mine and done the work myself,the hubscost me 285.00 a peice and about 2 hours of my time. I hope this helps but this is the case if you are talking about the 4x4 front hubs

headhunter, if you have the factory vacuum hubs the Ford part num.4C3Z1K106AA for the o-ring seals and retaining clip for hub lock retention to wheel hub. I mistakenly bought these seals and didn`t need them with my manual hubs so can return them.

Sorry, the wheel hub yellow o-ring gasket seal is pt#F81Z4A322AA but if they said you need hubs that`s another ballgame. Good luck! It`s not that hard of a job though.

The bearings are not serviceable, but the hub seals are. There is about $80 in parts to do both front hubs, plus maybe 2 hours labor on each side.
