Upon changing my front axle universal joints. I found some play in the inner wheel bearing. I went to advanced and the ones they list for my truck (1997 Ram 2500 360 dana 60 axle) is not even close to what is on my truck. Here are some pictures of what is on my truck. Can anyone help me please. Thanks.

 

Just looked on E-bay and none of the ones that says it will fit my truck, is what is on my truck now. They look like the ones advanced has. WTF is going on? Going to call the dealer in the morning to see if they know anything. any input would be great. Thanks

 

The new one will have the hub (where the lug bolts are) as one piece. Bearing and hub assembly. You separated them when you took it apart.

 

A my studs are part of the rotor. They are in front of it.

 

What he means is the hub and bearing are one assy.When you buy the new hub assy,it will come as one piece.

 

Exactly, so the new assembly won't look like the pix you posted.

 

zman, Thanks I see what you mean now. Took me a while to see it!!! Thanks for your help. Is it common for those to come apart the way mine did and should they always be replared if they do? The front axle ujoints are a pain the the A@@!!!

 

You will have to press the new hub onto the existing rotor. PITA design.
Sometimes the new hub doesn't come with lug studs. You can reuse your old ones if you can remove them without mangling the threads. Otherwise budget for new studs.

This is what the whole assembly looks like without the studs installed

 

dodge@1997, Usually they will come apart like that if a puller or slide hammer is used to take the assembly out of the spindle or if the bearing is real bad, but I would not say it's common. You want to loosen the four bolts on the back and with the socket on the bolt head just smack each one a little at a time,then loosen them a little more and repeat, and it should come out.
