Default Do our front wheels have Wheel Bearings?

Do we have wheel bearings on our front, non-drive, wheels? If so, I believe mine are shot. Thanks for any and all info.

The front bearings are located in a "bearing pack" that is pressed together. It is held to the front spindle with 4 bolts (looking at the back of the spindle, you'll see 4 bolts and a plug in the middle, that is the back of the bearing assembly, and the plug is the abs sensor). I've not yet replaced any of them (my car is a 2002), but I'm guessing that it is either replaced as a unit, or a machine shop can press them out (unless there is a simple snap ring holding them in....but I doubt that is the case). I'd hit the parts store and see if they have bearings or a whole assembly and go from there.....good luck!

It is a whole assembly. With a discount I spent a little over $100 at the local dealer replacing one of mine a few months ago.

I'm gonna replace both to be safe. Might as well do it right the first time. Thanks fellas.
