Front Hub life? At $190 each and not seeing any posts on them Im now wondering if the bearings last 4-ever. Is there any way to grease these things? After reading all I could looking for 4X4 front hub threads, I guess they last forever or a very minimal problem. Deeprt concern is lack of replacement lower control arm bushings or even arms. At this point around here finding anything in the junk yard is like finding hens teeth. Help!!

 

LOL. No they will not last forever. I have already replaced one, awhile ago. It was squeaking. But my guess is they are strong. I have 33's and I push my truck hard. So they have taken a good amount of stress.

They are non serviceable. So no greasing or no rebuilding.

 

I have also replaced one of mine(twice). I bought a new timken hub, and I went through the trouble of replacing it and putting it all back together. I drove the truck less than a week and that new hub went out, so I had to tear it down again and take it back and get another one(that one worked).

 

Lol this reminds me of back in the day of the Corvair. You could buy the pulley that mounted in the top case for the strange fan configeration but you had to pull the engine apart to press in and out. Guess its the same kind of thing. I also kinda suspected it was a non servicable unit, saw a dead one in the bed of a service truck last week.
