My right bearing took a crap. Not a big deal since I need to replace the brakes/rotors and shock so might as well do it all at once. Have you any input on what is a good brand to go with - if there even is more than one? The local store said they have national wheel hub assembly in stock and the only other type I found was timken...any input?

While I got you here, I was looking online for some decent (not crazy) rotors. I found Power Slot Cryo rotors (they are not drilled out) along with power slot pads w/ 36,000 mile warranty. Just curious if anyone has used or at least heard of these?

Thanks for all the help.

 

i would go with the timken, i havent had to replace my bearing/hub assembly but hammer said the timken bearings were good with my rearend so i went with them and ive had no problems with them

 

i had to replace my hubs and rotors at 105k on my 03 ram

 

Yeah timken is how I was leaning. Besides if the local auto store doesnt carry a brand and I find it online, its generally better overall. Sad to say, sadder to say that my 03 only has 72000 miles and I am replacing the wheel hub assembly. Thanks for the info.

 

I didnt think you could replace the bearing itself as it is made into the hub????

You can keyword "dodge ram hub 1500" on ebay and the hub assemblies are about $80+ shipped

 

Timken is a really nice brand man. You should get it.

 

You are correct. The bearing is sealed into the hub assembly...which is around 190 per side.

 

Make sure you get a new hub with the Anti-lock brake sensors attached if you have front wheel ABS on your truck.
They do make hubs without them.

Yeah but you can but the Mopar OEM replacements on ebay for 80-90 brand new and shipped

true but cant you take the old one off your original hub and put it on the new one?

 

I don't know if you can take the old one out Weed???
Indeed, my son tried to take out a sensor in a Toyota last year and due to the heat and corrosion etc, the thing just ended up in bits.
