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...

 

I bought Timkens. If I knew Moog made them with grease nipple I would have bought that instead.

 

Nothing at all wrong with Timkens!!!

 

That's true. Stock bearing lasted me almost 120K so I guess these should last me at least that long.

 

Just curious on how you paid for yours?

 

rockauto 121 bucks. Autozone wanted 175

 

Cool deal

 

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.
