Some cars have just the bearing barring the hub and sensor. The general trend in automotive manufacturing is moving towards a complete wheel hub bearing assembly, which includes the bearing, the hub, the ABS sensor with wire, and wheel lugs. The implementation of the wheel hub assembly is a matter of cost for car companies because performance wise, the complete wheel hub assembly is a blatant upgrade over the bearing alone.
Firstly, the install itself is a lot easier. The solo bearing unit is not a simple bolt on. It requires to be pressed in. The wheel hub assembly, on the other hand, is a simply plug and play part. It also provides a higher level of facilitated turning while tremendously reducing friction between the axle and the frame of the car itself and the wheel.
If the car is approaching 100k miles, chances are it's time to look at the wheel hub bearing. Previously, this would require a trip to the local dealership because they were the only ones with access to quality wheel hubs. This is precisely why http://www.AutoPartsPoint.com decided to carry a full line of wheel hub bearings while accurately and painstakingly cataloging each vehicle.
