Default 2000 Dodge Ram Spindle Replacement

Just recently my passenger side wheel locked up, and when I got the tire off this is what I found. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement assembly for the spindle? All I can seem to find are HUB assemblies. my truck is a 2000 dodge ram 1500 2WD V6 3.9L

i'd think a local junkyard would be your best option, as a new replacement spindle is likely to be really expensive. 00-01 1500 V6/V8 should work.

Ok this is part update. I found a knuckle at the junk yard, and now I need to locate the bearings that go on the spindle. I looked on the dodge parts book but cant find the bearing. Anyone have an idea of which bearing it is that I need for the spindle?

HERE.... and get new ball joints as well. Using used ones is not a goot idea. Probably due anyway if they were maintained as well.

And putting truck info in signature would make it easier.....

That's because a 2000 does use a hub assembly, except for the threads on the end of your spindle (that may be able to be cleaned up) You might not need one. You have to remove that big nut, and see if the hub assembly bearing races come off the spindle and see if they spun on the spindle. I doubt it.
