I think difference is in the size of the bearing. 45mm or 49mm.

The sizes are different, newer x's have a wee bit larger hub and axle but the install is the same

It seems like the key is in that B90 tool, the question is do i need that tool if I am installing the hub/bearing together?

lebahawk, how does it sound like and how did you zero in to identify the bearing as the culprit?

Maybe it is just the lower control arm out, not the bearing.

The way I checked it is by driving I can hear the noise starts at around 45 mph and increases as I work my way to 65 MPH almost like Grrrrrrrrrrr sound ! also when I reach 80 mph the sound gets lower but when i slows down or decelerate also the noise gets louder.... statically i jacked up the vehicle and did the check by grabing the tire side to side and feel if there is a movement and there was a little movement when i did the 9 :3 oclock check. Another simple way you can do it too if you have a hoist you can put the vehicle up in the air take off the tires and put it in Drive and hear the noise !!!! I doubt it its the arm because it would not make this kinda noise when driving.

=[ i have the same problem. i hear sounds just like you do but its touch and go. Sometimes i do sometimes i don't all during turns and once it stayed on even when parked and driving straight. I am not sure if its the bearing problem but keep us up to date and maybe i can get this fixed aswell.
