1997 Dually 2wd w/ IFS
I just bought new front brake pads for my '97 3500 Dually 2wd. I figure since I have a shimmy when braking I should have the rotors turned but the local parts store can't do it, and the local machine shops will probably charge an arm and a leg.
The parts store quoted me $180ea for the front rotor assemblies. That is ridiculous.
I'm curious if I can just purchase new rotors by themselves and bolt them to the dually extensions?
Does anyone have part numbers handy for the rotors? how about wheel bearings as well? I might as well replace them while I'm in there.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Nevermind. I just looked at the truck, and the rotor and hub are integrated, meaning $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
I'll have them turned at the machine shop (local brake shops can't do it they say) and replace the pads & wheel bearings.
Thanks.

If you have a local oreillys they might do it. I know mine did mine for me in about 2hrs and it cost less than 50 bucks.
oh and im not sure about a 97 but my 00 2wd dually the rotor and hub were sperate just gotta take off the 8 bolts that hold the extension to the regular hub.

In '00, they went to unit bearings on the 2wd like they had on the 4x4's since 94. Thats when they went to the dually adapters. Prior to that, the rotor and extension were intergal, like was found here. Exception here is cab and chassis, as it runs a 4x4 suspension with a dummy axle.

They are still servicable taper roller bearings, not the unit bearings like in the 4x4's. Rotors are expensive, but the bearings are cheap. Opposite of the 4x4.
