    are these front wheel bearings bad, and is this bushing worn out?

    is the brown discoloration on these wheel bearings cause to replace them? they are from a 1987 4wd manual 225k and unless a previous owner replaced them with oems they are original bearings. after replacing my rear wheel bearings and having ashop rebuild the diff im chasing down noises and there seems to be noise coming from the front. i didnt feel any play in the hub before i removed it. there was a some noise when spinning the hub with the caliper bracket removed. the bearings were last serviced 35k miles ago by the previous owner,hence the really dirty grease. also is the play in this spindle bushing something that needs to be replaced? https://imgur.com/a/k64rmoK

    Those bearings are burnt and need to be replaced

    Endplay and the related fixes are covered in another thread and the manual will list the endplay spec. (dont have mine handy)
