Ford will tell you that the entire hub MUST be replaced but you can replace only the bearings. In fact, I just gave a set of the bearings away as I went ahead and replaced both hubs entirely. I paid $341 per side for the hubs. I also bought all of the o-rings. I think those ran 15 bucks or so. The hubs were listed at $425. The parts guy said he could "fleet" price them and that brought them down to $341. It probably helped that the parts guy is the brother-in-law of a coworker of mine. I would still ask for fleet pricing though and see what happens. Ford is hurting for cash according to NBC News tonight so who knows, they might cut you some slack.
