Well I recently had my truck in a shop and when the guy looked at it he said the wheel bearings, tie rod end, ball joints and u-joints were all going bad. So i got the u-joint and ball joints ready to go. I was just wondering if I should just replace the wheel bearings or the whole hub assy. and if i should replace the whole tie rod or just the ends? I know it would be ideal to go all out, but im a little stressed for cash at the moment. But on the same hand i dont wanna tear it all apart and fix it, just to have to tear it about agian in a few months. So i guess im wondering the chances of the damage on the hubs or tie rod?
^What he said.
Wheel bearings are non-serviceable in the 4x4 rams.
You gotta buy the hub/bearing assy, rockauto has em $40 each.
And if the tie rod is good shape just replace the TREs and be done with it.
