front wheel bearings

IH10020 · Aug 5, 2009

Has anyone been able to buy the bearing only for the 2500 dodge 2 wheel drive without buying the whole hub assembly for the front? Thanks in advance.

Never managed to for a 4wd.

Check the price at RockAuto.com compared to what you have been quoted locally. SOMETIMES they are quite a bit more reasonable.

Most newer cars are coming with a sealed hub assembly. Our 1999 Malibu was like that. In the ~7 years we owned that car, we put three front hubs into it, with only ~150,000km on it. That really hurt the pocket book when, installed, they were running nearly $650.

My new to me Grand Prix GT2 is a 2004, and with only 75,000km on it, it needs a new front left hub. A buddy of mine quoted me $400, or $300 for a lesser-quality knock-off. RockAuto can do one for $110.

Wow, just bought the same part for my 3/4 ton Chevy, was only $120.

Those bearings are "Prestressed/ Pre loaded at
the factory. You can"t get them set up the same
way at home. (Or so i"ve been told)

My brother just went through that with a half-ton Dodge; did a lot of searching and finally figured out that he couldn't buy 'parts', just the whole assembly.
