Parts houses didn't have the parts...........had to go to the dealer. Parts cost a buddy of mine $259.00 so that's what I got it for. Surely there is a company out there that will sell just the bearing. I'm gonna check around before I spend another $259.00 on the other side when it decides to let go. No sense in paying for a hub when there wasn't a thing wrong with it.

See, I thought the same thing. No one could cross reference the number. I think you will run into problems with the races and pushing it out and everything, hense why they are meant to be un-serviceable....

Wrong , the van has alloys , the "hubcap" only covers the lug nuts.

Is it more noticible when going over bumps?
Try this - slightly press on the brake petal as your rolling down the road & if it goes away it could be a $8 clip that secures the brake calaper. I thought it was a bad shock at first.
This happened on both my trucks after around 170,000 miles.

Found out that it was the tin sheild behind the rotor. However, upon closer inspection we found a loud rattle in the bell housing upon shut-down. Definately the clutch. Hold it on the floor when I turn off the key and it's quiet. It doesn't seem to affect clutch performance at all.
I'm getting new tires, a 4" exh., the starter updated and I'll have my friend check into the clutch farther. Perhaps just a loose bushing? Let's hope so. It's time to bomb I don't need to be breakin' down.
