Default AWD R/T Front Hubs

Does anyone know who has the front hubs for 2007-2010 AWD calibers?
I wanted to buy the complete hub but places only sale complete hubs for the rear only and front is just the bearing only.I would like to buy the whole hub like I do the rear and just bolt it on so I don't have to take to a shop with press.I have a press but at the moment am fighting to get it repaired under warranty being its less then a year old.Other places want 20each just to press out old bearing and press in new one which takes only 10 mins.Bearing along is 46 and rear complete hubs are only 54.

Will the Rear AWD hubs bolt in Front also?
Anyone have a National or Timken hub part number for complete aslby?
Part numbers 510090 is just the front bearing by itself.


Thanks

Thanks lx , do you happen to know if thats for the AWD ? It doesnt say anything about awd systems and isnt a option under models even.I will try to find a local parts house that still sales RAYBESTOS parts and see if they can make sure it is for AWD system and not the FWD. Did they still make AWD Calibers, I thought they had stopped when they went to the newer ones but still offered the 2.4 and a turbo but are they AWD or just FWD.

Ok found out why they do not sale front hubs. The bearing is pressed directly into the Knuckle then hub is pressed into bearing.I had not looked at hubs yet and was doing it as PM only.From what I see you would have to buy the entire knuckle to get it all together so this is why only a bearing is availble for the Front AWD systems.Back is bolt in type and bearing is pressed in housing then bolted to knuckle.Wondering why they didnt do front this way on AWD.......

Good question. Possibly due to the extra side load in the front from steering.

2012 was the last year for the Calibers. The new Dart has taken it's place for 2013.

Would make sense but the FWD models are bolted in... Im sure they have good reasons for doing it....

Did a bit of research and also found out that on AWD it matters which way the bearings are pressed in in case anyone needs to know.The Bearing carrys the encoder ring on one side of the bearing.

Thanks for the info. I'm sure somebody will need it sooner or later.
