Wheel bearing replacement cost
for a Ford F-150

Replacing a wheel bearing on a Ford F-150 involves removing the wheel, brake caliper, and rotor to access the hub assembly, which is typically replaced as a complete unit. The cost is primarily driven by the price of the hub/bearing assembly itself and the labour time, which varies significantly between 2WD and 4WD models. For 4WD trucks, the process is more complex due to the CV axle, increasing labour time and cost.

Cost breakdown

What affects the price

2WD vs. 4WD model (4WD requires more labour)
OEM vs. aftermarket part quality
Front vs. rear axle (front typically more expensive)

Can you do it yourself?

Possible with skill — requires a good jack, jack stands, torque wrench, and possibly a large socket for the axle nut. Pressing out an old bearing requires a hydraulic press, so most DIYers opt for a complete hub assembly replacement.

Tips before you pay

Diagnose carefully; a bad bearing often causes a growling noise that changes with speed.
For 4WD models, be prepared to disconnect the CV axle from the hub.
Use a quality, sealed hub assembly to prevent premature failure from contamination.
