Hey guys,
I have a 1999 dodge ram 1500 5.2. I am having issues with my hub assembly on the driver side going out over and over, I have replaced all suspension parts up front including the u joints on the axle but my last hub still went bad in less than a year, the one previous to that exploded so at this point I am thinking it may be the brand. So I am wondering if anybody can suggest a good brand that will hold up, preferably staying away from MOOG as in my opinion and from experience their quality has gone to crap. looking for a hub assembly that is not going to fail on me again.

 

Timken and SKF. Make sure you are torquing the axle nut unloaded.

 

Timken, You have larger tires/spacers?

 

Might as well throw a blanket over Timken and MOOG -- you've got equal chances of success.

RA stocks SKF, BCA and Schaeffler. I'd choose any of those. Assuming 4wd.
