Front wheel bearings are starting to make noise. Can I just replace the bearings or do I have to replace the rotor and all as one unit? Thank you.

Good morning,

The wheel bearing is serviced with the hub. I attached a picture of the hub with the bearing from rock auto. It is about $85.00.

Why did you think you needed to replace the rotor as well?

Appreciate the response. Was told by some people that I would have to buy the rotor because it was 1 assembly. Others said I could just by the bearings.
Now, I know who knows what!
