Front hub assembly, BJ's & u joint ???

Hub assembly
Dodge wants $450ea
XFR are $212ea
Napa are $174 up to $439 depending on aplication

BJ's
Dynatrac $659 upper/lower
XFR $212 upper/lower
Dodge $522 upper/lower

U Joint
Napa part#464 $52.99
Dodge $122

Getting ready to replace BJ's, hub assembly and axle u joints and would like to replace all at once. My miles are around 120,000 and all original.

Any suggestions on brands or part #?
May have a friend do the work for me.

Thanks for your help

check rock auto fo hubs, they sell timkens or skfs which are the same as whats on there. For ball joints carlis are the best but pricey, i put a set of greasable spicers in from napa for around 300. i would also recommend spicer u joints vs aam joints, i cant get more than 25k out of the aam but i plow snow. i got mine from northern drivetrain online $60.00 each good luck.

Look at the Spicer Chassis ball joints AKA Napa's premium line if you don't drop the big $$$$$$.

I used Timken hubs but the rest are the same parts you used.

As far as ball joints go, ANYTHING is better than Dodge replacements...Im on my second set in 66K miles.

Saving up for the Carlis now.

Don`t skimp on hubs. I did & had to replace them within a month. The ABS light wouldn`t go out & lots of play.

I meant to say the SKF were from tireclub.com not XRF hubs.

Thanks for the input so far.
