Good day, question,
Are wheel bearings front and rear same part? I mean the complete "hub". Seems a company in EU is selling rear but cant find front.

The front bearing is typically pressed out of and back into the the existing steering knuckle. Some front bearing kits will include a new hub\wheel flange but you can often reuse those as well unless the bearing went so bad that it damaged the hub. As others pointed out, you can also buy a complete knuckle assembly with bearing already pressed in.
