well i went to the lake on saturday and sunday,filled the tank (which it is a 26 gal tank) towed the toon all the way there w/out a problem. sunday night i come home and I have this SQUEEK SQUEEK SQUEEK. ALL THE WAY HOME. oh man drove me nuts,I thought a bad universal, trans bearing going, or maybe a just a rock stuck.

Well to my surprise the front right wheel bearing went again for the 4th time in a 11 yrs. Well I am tired of spending 280.00 or more for these dam bearings. If anyone knows where i can get it cheaper throw me the link or just post it for me.

 

they are only 180 on the 1500's.

 

Sheriff he has a 2500. There is a company out there(can't remember their name at the moment) who manufactures an old school spindle and wheel bearing setup. the initial investment will be more than you are spending now on a replacement hub but will save you time and again in the long run. That all of course depends on how long you plan on keeping your truck.

 

If I were you I would find out what is causing so many failures. You may be putting a band aid on a bigger problem. Four times seems a bit excessive.

 

Maybe the brand of hub assembly he is using isn't of good quality. I can't imagine what else could cause that other than incorrect installation and you should know immediately if you installed it wrong as nothing else should go on right. If the axle shaft was causing it I would think you should hear some terrible noises long before the hub wears out.

 

big tires?

 

You are lifted and are running big wheels and tires. Get used to parts failing.

 

these hubs are the factory hubs from splicer its seelf, after the 3rd time I called around alot of places to find out the O.E. parts and from who to get them from. and the bad part is i wont just replace just one now i have to do both sides or i wont be happy

 

give Dynatrac a call, they make the freespin kit, which will also delete the CAD, in the form of locking hubs, which are rebuildable

 

Thanks Maroon that is who it is that makes the kit I was thinking of. I couldn't remember for the life of me who it was.
