hmm... why wouldn't there be a bearing already in it? did you buy it new?

i have never had my wheel bearings replaced before, but it's just better to go to autozone or dealer and have that done without going through a bunch of hassle.

Should've just gone to autozone... wheel hub assembly came (and should come, stupid if it doesn't) with the bearings already in it. It's a half hour or an hour job to replace...

found a wheel bearing for 17.99 at auto zone its made by TIMKEN I'm going to buy it, but should I press it onto the new hub assembly I have or should i just use my old one? this is the second time in less then a year that it has gone bad so I'm thinking maybe the wheel hub is messed up or something

anyone have any opinions on what to do? love how the tittle of the post was changed and i even stared out most of the letters in the curse lol

If you can return the new part, then use the old one. If it aint broke, don't fix it.
