I just replaced my front wheel bearing on my 04 Ram 2500 4x4. I used a Motorbymotor 515061 Front Wheel Bearing and Hub. It is making a grinding noise even when using the breaks. If I turn hard on way or the other it will go away for a split second. It doesn't make any noise when the wheel is spun by hand. I assume I got a bad bearing. I have no idea what else it could be.
thx

 

I've good luck with https://www.detroitaxle.com/

 

Got the axle nut torqued to the correct value? I believe it is something truly stupid, like 180, or 220 ft/lbs. And yes, it matters.

 

Glad to read this, I bought a bunch of detroit axle parts for my 06 1500.

Typically I don't use anything but Timken, especially anything I plan on keeping for years. I rarely have wheel bearing trouble, usually I replace them as preventative on new to me vehicles, or I destroy them trying to get the shafts out to do u joints.

 

yes it's 254

 

Timken still seems to be good so far.

 

I've got 20k miles on detroit axle steering and suspension parts without a problem.
