I verified the P/N from the Timken web site.. so I'm hopeful I have the correct one.. but I will make sure I have the right stuff before teardown.

Yup, that be the one.....they changed their site a short time ago. Just make sur that you keep ur invoice as thats the only way that you'll have the lifetime warrenty as told to me by Rick on the order desk.

I didn't see anywhere on there that they offer the lifetime warranty. Did they just tell you this or did I miss it some where.

ok, I installed the part yesterday, pretty easy job.. just make sure you have a good size breaker bar, and a 18mm socket... I found that my bearing noise is less than before, but I still hear some... I suspect the right side is also whining..

 

my right side is getting worse too.. FYI - I measured the bearing temp with an infrared thermometer and the new side measured 80F and the old side measured 130F... so I ordered a 2nd part and will install soon..

 

Good info....

what it is with these "HEAVY DUTY" trucks with front bearings that go at 42k miles? that's just ********..

 

Trisum, I ws told about the life time warrenty by Rick. I'm sure he'll be around for the rest of my life time...LOL

pdogg, Make sure that the unit is torqued to specs as that will contriubte to premature bearing failure.....FWIW

the one I pulled off, you could see some of the metal around the fringes was blue from getting too hot... and to turn it by hand it felt crunchy instead of smooth.

 

Who's Rick ??

He works the order desk at #800-830-2885.

update: I installed the 2nd hub, and my front end is silent. I noticed that the hubs I pulled off were also Timken, and I am hoping I get more than 43k out of the new hubs.

I also did the daystar 1.5" levelling kit while I was in there... looking nice and level now.
