Lead acid batteries

They are indeed a sealed bearing/hub assembly...with the ABS sensor. Both of our vehicles, the 02 Cheby Duramax and a 99 Exploder, are 4 wheel drive. They both have bearing/hubs on the front. The Exploder needs a bearing as well. Have had it for a while now, just waiting for the next maintenance.

FWIW, I have had to replace both front hub/bearing assemblies in my 4WD Ram; the OEM items both failed, one at 65k and the other at 85k. Went with the NAPA items; both are now at 175k so the NAPA items look to be better. (For THAT part at least...)

It is not worn out just clicking. Like a bone head I used the impact go on the axle nut. From what I was told the impact action puts small divots in the bearing/races, which makes the noise.

Doh....did that on my wife's Caracvan once...
