Front end parts can add up quickly. I spent over $1k in parts last time I had mine apart but I replaced everything. If you have wobble, you can either have a missing weight off your wheel, or shot ball joints/tie rods.

yeah. fortunately the RWAL hubs are cheaper than the ABS hubs. but still, cheapest at Autozone is $105, better ones are ~$150. and no go on the brakes today. i remembered everything but the most important thing. Try a jack and jackstands. i swear if it wasnt for bad ****ing luck, i'd have no ****ing luck at all...

Dont buy the ****ty Duracrap wheel bearings from AutZone. First, they will give you the wrong P/N and part. Second, mine only lasted 10,000 miles! Spend the extra $100 and get some good Timken bearings. I have had mine on for over 20,000 miles and they are still as tight as the day the tire shop put them on.

If you plan on doing U-joints or bearings, you'll need a large socket and a powerful impact gun. I can't recall the size, but if you ask for a Dodge axle nut socket the parts store should know what you're talking about.
He has unit bearings (sealed) and they are probably shot. Before pulling the tire but after jacking it off the ground, grab said assembly and try wiggling it. You'll probably know right away if your bearings are bad, because any play is a no go.
Only problem with checking them that way, is you need another person to do it, while you look behind the wheel and check if the hub is loose or the ball joints are loose. Could be either one or both.
