Mazda 3 front wheel bearings

I have an 05 Mazda 3 that has a bad front wheel bearing. I'm getting the run around from which is the right part (hub & bearing) there seems to a couple of different part that range in prize. any advice?

Get multiple parts and bring back what doesn't fit - most parts stores should let you do that.

thanks, good advice. I ordered the hub and bearing online, so I have to hope it is the right one. I have shop guy doing the labor. do you know if Mazda changed mid year on the 05's for the part?

I'm not sure but I don't think they would have changed the bearing from the whole 04-09 model year set - seems that it's a basic enough part nothing would change.

thanks, I'm headed over to the shop tomorrow with the part. I agree and hope the part is right.
They still list a couple of different part numbers for the 05 year which seems odd.
