In 2000 Dodge used the same style sealed hub unit as a 4x4 on the 2wd's .

Side note. when you bolt that puppy back up, use anti seize on the hub surface! makes it 10times easier taking it off next time.

Although the 2wd uses the same style (sealed hub unit) it does not bolt on through the back like our 4wd's do.

On a side note, some one recently replaced just the bearings on a 2wd sealed hub. Maybe a search is in order.

So you don't have front ABS that's all. I'd go BCA as a second choice to Timken. Federal Mogul is the maker and they are still putting out some pretty good parts, except MOOG may be taking a hit in quality. They also put out the National line.
