i need to replace my front hub assembly and was wondering how good are the timken compared to factory or what is the best assembly you can buy. for the ones that have the timken how are they holding up. thanks

 

I have almost 50k on them no problems. I paid $200 ea form parts geek.com

 

I use Timken bearings in the company CTD Dodge Ram trucks and have no problem with them at all.

 

running the timkin also love them . jest get a 18 wheeler hub puller and they come right out robbie

 

I had a u-joint go and had to replace bearings because of that. I had Timkens put in and they have been great for 60,000 miles.

 

I was just getting ready to post on my install and saw this thread. I don't know how you could go wrong with the Timken hub. I just installed a Moog kit 20 minutes ago on my passengers side. Only reason I went with the Moog is that it was available today. The Timken would have been next week, but I'm very comfortable with both brands..Good luck!!

 

My OEM hubs were Timken. I went back with aftermarket, so far so good. If you're in the market, look on Amazon.com. They had the best prices on Timken parts I've seen anywhere. My second look would be the online discount at Advance Auto. Call in and order it there but pick it up locally. You'll get their best deal that way.

 

thanks guys for the info. i found them at partsgeek for 168.00 each with free shipping.

 

I am still on my originals at 310K and I use oversize tires. Anytime I do the brakes or balljoints or axle ujoints I pull the abs sensors and force grease in there untill it comes out at the bearing seals.

 

Well you my friend are either lucky or have figured it out. I myself not so lucky and have become intimately familiar with the dodge front end but I'm ok with that, I can dive in there without a care in the world!!
BTW - the Timken hubs have been good - probably better than the mopar units and definately better than the china junk!
