Help my truck!
cant seem 2 find just the bearings for my 98 ram 2500. 4x4 every place i called said they only sell the whole hud. any help would be awsome
|
Hence the price quote thread. Did you get a number off the bearing or race??
|
no, i didnt know they had numbers on them. after i pressed out the wheel studs the hub fell off the press an broke the plastic ring that held the rollers in.
|
This the front or rear hub your working on??
|
front, i broke bearing on the press, and might as well do the other while its apart. then went 2 do the other side an striped the nut an the stub axle. so i already bought the stub axle and just now gota find the bearings.
|
you cant just get the bearings. dont ask me why but you HAVE to get the whole hub. thats just the way it is. this is the reason why i got the lockout conversion kit didnt think it was right to have none sevicable bearings that cost an arm and a leg.
|
non servicable? BS then how come i got mine apart?
|
apparently you used a big enough hammer :ok1:

Your lucky it didnt fall apart on the road. Dodge switched to "unit bearings" in '94, because its a cheaper manufacturing alternative. They are non-servicable, non-joe schmo rebuildable, and JUNK! Sorry boss, your into it for at least 150 perside. You can get a conversion kit, but then ya gotta lock in the hubs like the old trucks when ya go 4 wheelin. And it aint cheep to get the kit either. I forgot who makes it now, but ask 12valvetater he's got the kit on his truck. |

Came apart because it was worn out and you broke it. Sealed, non-serviceable unit hub. Anything will come apart if you drop it or hammer it enough. |
