Going to be redoing some suspension bushings and upgrades, one being the knuckle bearing. Looking at the kit from FP ( M-5970-M ), I'm wondering if the hub is the same or upgraded and the only difference is the bearing in the knuckle? No site seems to give this detail and if the hub is upgraded too, it seems more logical to get the kit for a little more $$ vs the price of the bearing, removal/install and the other bushing already aged seven years.
Thoughts? :thumbsup:

That's a whole lot of parts and expense to avoid pressing in a $100 bearing. Those are just OEM hubs.
Good to know on the hub.:thumbsup:

If the other bushing is going bad (others are showing wear), just the base knuckles are ~$270 a piece with the non-FP bearing. Getting this kit is $505 vs bearing cost/install and then the bushing going out a couple years from now and having to do it all over again. Sort of looking into the crystal ball and trying to future proof parts and $$ outlay.
