Front Wheel dust caps?
I need help finding these things. No matter what search terms I use I get either cosmetic center caps, cosmetic hub caps or, plastic/rubber dust caps. I'm looking for the dust caps for the front wheel bearings. I've been missing one since I bought this truck. Everyone says it's a $2 part but no one seems to have them.
Just did both sides: rotors, calipers, pads, wheel bearings, tierods, drag link and pitman arm. It was a full day! Next stop, ball joints. |
It would help if we knew what you were driving. :)

Yeah, i imagine that would be helpful. I put it in my signature to avoid this in the future. |
Seems that the OE part number for that wheel hub dust cap is 52007906. If it were me, I'd suggest going to a pick and pay salvage yard and pull it off to get a good deal on it. Otherwise, picking that part up may be quite painful price-wise if going across the counter to purchase it.. :icon_twocents:

Last time I was in the parts store, they have various caliber dust caps in the "Help" section. (Dorman parts, I do believe) Might be worth a look.

You might look at a Dorman 13996. This is listed as working for the vans but not the pickups.
Here's an ebay auction for what AtomicDog mentioned, but $36: https://www.ebay.com/itm/296139666862 |

I ran into a similar issue while I was helping to do repairs on a '71 Dodge Charger. The dust cap on one side was missing. I found that Mr. Gasket #2485 wheel bearing dust caps (pair) were "supposed" to fit for $11.49, as finding an OE cap was time consuming and expensive. They were somewhat close, but I had to spend time dimpling them with a punch so that they would stay in the hub.
Finding some parts that you'd think would be easy for these older vehicles at the parts stores is fast becoming no longer easy... :icon_twocents: |
I'll trade ya problems, mine is a 96 with 2019 wheels the caps arent made for my rear end, I had to cut teh dodge ram head out to get th back ones to fit LOL
