Wheel hub/bearings

I have a 2010 E350 4matic and I'm looking to replace my wheel hubs/bearings. Recently I have gotten this humming sounds that I believe is from the bearings going out in the wheel hub. The car has 130k miles so it wouldn't hurt to replace them anyways. I would like to replace the whole hub vice just the bearings to simplify the install process. Where does everyone recommend buying the whole hub with the bearings already installed in the hub? I was looking on a view website; rockauto, autozone…. and was just curious if anyone has a preference and which one to buy. Thanks!

no doubt at all. get them from FCP Euro. Best price and quality. also, forever warranty is very nice. although if you already put 130k on your car, i highly doubt that you're going back for more wheel bearings! i just changed mine and going to post some pics, i think. first side took 42 minutes. second side took 34 minutes. this was a very satisfying experience.

Pretty sure the OP has unit bearings and a half hour bearing job is a pipe dream.

the hub comes with the bearings pre-installed. it's extremely simple. what part do you think would take you a long a time? you can see from the picture of what's left over, the hubs AND bearings are still in rotor. check out FCP Euro
