terrylange Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 I have been told by two dealerships that my right front bearing and hub assembly has play in it and needs to be replaced. I have checked the various discount websites for AC Delco parts, and have a couple of questions. All of the sites list both a complete bearing and hub assembly, as well as a bearing and hub assembly repair kit. They also all list a "1st design, with stainless steel sensor wire spring clip" and a "2nd design with plastic sensor wire with clip." Does anyone know how I identify whether my car is a first design or second design, and should I be ordering the repair kit or complete hub and bearing assembly? I don't plan on doing the repair myself, so I anticipate some reluctance on the part of the Caddy dealer when I show up with the parts in my trunk, so I would like to have the correct parts on hand. I have entered my VIN in the AC Delco website and they still list both 1st design and 2nd design, so that hasn't been of any help. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM hubs are not rebuilt with new bearings. The reason there may be 2 different ones is there is a standard one, then a heavy duty one for Deville limos and armour cars. Maybe the heavy duty ones are rebuildable. 10 years ago there WAS a 1st and 2nd design hub bearing. Eary design the ABS sensor could be repaired, 2nd design was replaced as a complete unit.
