Checked my front wheels, the passenger side has vertical play. Been humming for a year and going quiet on right turns. Tire is becoming thinned and vibration is noticable now. Using VIN to look up front wheel hub assembly but I'm only being shown assemblies for a 4x4 when it's not. To add to my confusion, I searched for the part part while not using the VIN and being told that the 4x4 won't fit. This is my first truck and manual transmission so if I'm just ignorant to the knowledge then somebody please tell me. Don't want to take it to shop.

 

You may not need to take it to a shop, but you might consider checking with a Ford Dealership Parts Dept.
Give them your VIN and people complain about them charging a little more, but look at the aggravation you went through so far, and you would be done by now.
Do it once and do it right.

 

Can't argue with that. Looked up Ford authorized parts and services. Immediately found correct rotor and hub with abs ring. Not much more at than what I was going to pay (probably for the wrong part). Thank you. 👍

 

Thank you for the update
