Do you guys replace the knuckle when you replace a wheel bearing?

I owned a Subaru shop for a decade and one of the big things I learned is that Subaru knuckles are almost always destroyed by a failed wheel bearing even if you can't see the problem. If you have to replace a wheel bearing and don't replace the knuckle too, you're going to be replacing the bearing again in about 10k miles. Are the Connects like that too? I've finally taken enough of the van apart to determine that, at the very least, I have a failed right front wheel bearing. Sadly, it got driven around on for a while before I tore it apart. Do I need to order a knuckle too or are Fords generally good to go with just a hub and bearing for the swap?
