Well, I had the death wobble twice this month, so I took my truck to a shop that I trust and respect to have the front end inspected and fixed( I usually do my own work, but it's winter here and my truck won't fit in my garage). After the inspection, it was recommended that most of the front end be replaced. So, as this was going to be very expensive, I decided to do it in 2 stages. I got them to install the 08 steering upgrade, do an alignment and rebalance the front tires and while the truck was there I decided to get some Bilstein 5100s put on. Well, the truck rides and drives fantastic now! I love it. But I still need to do ball joints and most likely the unit bearing hubs. I've decided to go with XRF ball joints as they have been receiving a lot of positive feedback on here, but I'm not sure about the unit hubs...should I just use Mopar ones or is there a better aftermarket version that anyone would recommend? Thanks.

 

I installed SKF bearings I bought from RockAuto.XRF ball joints everything seems great.

 

I don't have a problem with SKF either but look on Amazon. You can get Timken's there pretty reasonable and I think that's what came on it originally.

 

If you've got the bucks, now is the time to do free spin hubs. I did the dyna-trac setup and it's the best thing I could have done. I'll never have a leak or a bud U joint. No vibes, quiet.

 

I have just learned that Timkin is made in China, suprised me.

I would go with the SKF but if your unit hubs are not making noise why change them.
