My goal here is just to make sure I fix everything that needs to be fixed in order for some smooth sailing for years to come. I don't mind doing the repairs, as my P5 only has 104K on the engine and it runs smooth as butter, so I see it as an investment. Long story short, this car was in a wreck on the front end that caused the need for these repairs. Should I replace the tie rod ends at this point? Or what should I look for to determine if the tie rod ends are damaged? I want to replace the damaged hubs as well.I'm also replacing my cv axles and lower control arms.I think I should go ahead and replace the axel nut and retainer, correct?Ĥ. Also, is there a seal replacement I need to worry about?ģ. So the bearings need to be pressed, is there a certain way they need to be pressed or put in that I need to be aware of?Ģb. Is the assembly just a possibly cheaper way to purchase the hub/bearing/axel nut/retainer all in one purchase? I'm just curious, for my knowledge.Ģa. After watching a few videos and looking at some diagrams, what y'all said makes absolute sense! Thanks!ġ. Wow, was I way off.I'm not sure why I had it stuck in my head that the assembly came all put together.wishful thinking on my end. The ABS sensor bolts to the knuckle but all knuckles have at threaded hole for - thanks for your replies! My eyes have been opened! haha. The toothed ring for the front is located on the axle so ABS has nothing to do with the front bearings. This is the rear bearing/hub assembly and it does come with the bearing and toothed ring preinstalled. Either way you can't avoid the labor and that can be a huge PITA. Then the axle feeds through the hub and is bolted on. (even some machine shops have pushed it together wrong and wrecked the bearing). If you were to push the bearing into the knuckle by pushing on the hub you would wreck the bearing. The bearing needs to be installed in the knuckle before the hub is installed in the bearing mostly so the pressure of pushing is on the outer race of the bearing. The hub too is reused unless it's all bashed up. Knuckles are reused and really expensive (and don't come with everything installed). Your only option would be to get an entire knuckle with bearing and hub installed and that isn't really available. I already want to replace both the wheel hub/bearing on each side and I'm thinking I can do this with the wheel hub assembly and avoid having the bearings pressed altogether.is this correct? Or does the assembly kit simply come with the bearing separately included, thus needing to be pressed in before installation into the knuckle?Īny info on where to find the assembly and whether or not I need to have the bearings pressed once I receive the assembly would be much appreciated! The main problem I'm having is finding a wheel hub assembly for the FRONT with NO ABS. I haven't had any luck finding one? I'm looking to replace both wheel bearings and hubs on the front end, hence my search for the wheel hub assembly.Īlso, am I correct in thinking the wheel hub assembly will come with a new wheel bearing already pressed into the wheel hub? That's half the battle here and part of the reason why purchasing the whole assembly is so appealing. That being said, I'm looking for a wheel hub assembly for the FRONT of my 2003 P5 which has NO ABS. I've been lurking for a while now.I love the site and I appreciate all of the knowledge and help I've gained from this site already!
