I have an 02 Dodge ram 1500 4wheel drive and have noticed what sounds like the wheel bearings growling.Can you just replace the weheel bearing or repack them?I was told that you have to buy a whole hub assembly if you want to change them.Is that true? Thanks.........

 

Wow how weird is that..I have an 02 as well that is making a grinding noise when i am driving..so im not sure it is the wheel bearings or not but from what i have seen it looks as if you have to buy the whole hub assembly if that helps you out at all..i got a post that i just put on ********* and look forward to see what people say as to what my problem is..but i am leaning toward bearings as well..but hope i helped and good luck

 

my truck was grinding and it turned out to be the bearings, you cant repack them because there sealed so you have to replace the whole assembly, wasnt too bad once you got past the fact that the old ones were impossible to get off, ended up using a impact hammer and then a sledge hammer after that
