?? seems expensive. But Maybe it has the antilock sensor built in. My truck has just basic bearings so they are relatively cheap (15$) but I replaced my wife's fronts on the Olds minivan they were a sealed bearing AB sensor unit which cost $70 ea.

Just did a quick search online because you had me curious. That is a dogdoo dealer price. There were Timken parts all over the web for ~$110

Unless they are gold plated from the dealer or you got quoted for other or more parts that price was way high.

If price is for only 1 assembly it's way too much. You can buy OEM from dealer here www.dodgeparts.com from $ $ 195.00 to 270 each, add $ 25 shipping.

Sorry John but wholesalemopar ripped me off well when I ordered a new MAP sensor and they sent me an intake air cleaner gauge, They didn't want to replace or refund, and they claimed I didn't send the VIN. I assume anybody that works in the field can clearly tell the difference between the 2.

I use dodgeparts.com since then.

The guy said he has a 2WD and you are quoting him the hub for a 4WD. The 2WD trucks still have replaceable bearings.

you may be able to press them out, but they are not available for replacement.... you have to replace them as an assembly, as the picture showed

Yep, few tried it in the past. They all went back buying a new assembly. All the mfg nowadays have same setup, no more individual bearings.

Anyway I bought mine at Advance Auto Parts, they sold me at $ 235.00 each (4wd) with employee discount. They are National brand , made in USA.
