[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1015853, member: 52972"] Marsha, Yardsale is probably right in that, the wheel bearings may not require a press, but many FWD and 4X4 use pressed in front wheel bearings. However, there is really no reason for auto parts stores to sell FWD wheel bearings mount with the steering knuckle??? I assumed that when they sell the wheel bearings and steering knuckle as a single assembly, it's because the sealed wheel bearing hub is pressed into the steering knuckle? As for replacing the ball joints etc, when the wheel bearings are being replaced: Yes, that would be easier if you have to remove the steering knuckle and press out the bearings. If not, then wait until you have symptoms of ball joint problems. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
