Hi, long time follower, first time poster. I have a 2004 Ram SLT 2WD Hemi and have had a growling present at all speeds but it goes away or lessens when I put weight on the left side of the vehicle leading me to believe I had a bad right side axle bearing so I replaced both sides (while you are in there might as well right?) noise did not change, so I changed the right front wheel bearing/hub and still no change in noise in fact as of late the noise is getting worse. I am 99% sure it is the right front wheel bearing that is bad and I have been sold a bad bearing but I want y'alls opinion before tearing it back apart.
Thanks for the great advice I am sure I will get.
Stock hubs are of pretty poor quality so I don't doubt it. I'd replace them with a good quality one (and one with a damn grease nipple!). I use Moogs but there are other good ones out there. THIS IS NOT A PART YOU WANT TO REPLACE WITH ONE THAT SAYS "MOPAR" ON...
How the hell are you guys getting stuff from autozone so cheap? My local az wants $275 for a timken with speed sensor and $225 without. I don't mind buying online I actually prefer it cuz you usually find good deals but if you need something in a pinch its a real pain in the wallet.

Wow! 275? Sounds like Canadian prices. AAP here locally don't carry Timken but Autozone does and charges $175 for the one with sensor. Plus no sales tax here in NH. The non sensor one I didn't ask because I ordered from Rock Auto for $116.
