Wheel Bearing or ?

With 40,000 mi on the clock my 07 4wd w/G56 started rumbling above 50 mph.
Then days later only at low speeds - perhaps less than 20 mph It started shaking like the drive shaft was bent (it's not) particularly when I step on the brakes.
Universal or wheel bearing?
I will likely replace both.
Part number for wheel bearing is not in the books at my local parts stores.
Would this be the same as the 03 to 06?
The 2 local Dodge dealers are small and not too good to say the least.

I'd say U-Joints or carrier bearing (cant tell if you have a long bed).. Its a little early to IMO to be the front bearings. Is so good luck gettin the hub off if its anything like mine.

Turned out after much prying and poking about (with a large pinch bar) it was a universal. Still had to be ordered due to the year. Sure glad it didn't cause a problem this past weekend on the way up to Blue Mt Lake. Was flogging it pretty hard up the steeper hills...

I just went through the same thing.. I replaced almost all of mine before I ran out funds.. Replacing the front bearings and ujoints killed me
