How are the bearings installed in the hub unit?(pressed in,snap ring, or just installed with seal pressed in like a normal rotor would be?)If theres a bearing in the hub there has got to be a way for it to come out.Im not a rocket scientist but im pretty sure that dodge didnt forge a hub around a bearing.If the bearing will come out you can get a new one at motion industries for alot less than what even autozone etc charges.
Yeah, you'd think it'd be nice and simple like that. But it's not. It's a "unit" hub/bearing. Non-serviceable. I haven't taken mine off to examine it, but if you do any research on this, you'll see what I'm talking about. It's just a way for DC to save a few more bucks.
Prob. going to be alright just mad bout being stranded.Will definitly be looking for aftermarket parts,I dont want this problem agian.
Trust me, I know your pain. I don't know about anybody else out there, but I have a heck of an "I was stranded story" for you (not trying to stomp on your thread, just prove a point)...I was 16, driving in my first car (83' Z28 Camaro), thought I was on top of the world...I was driving on the back roads of a place called Mouth of Wilson, VA (for anybody that MIGHT know the location)...anyway, it was dark, late (like 1am), I was on my way back from seeing a gal I was seeing at the time and I was in the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE (approx 6 miles from ANY houses). Back where I come from, folks hit their beds about 9 or 10pm, and there aren't many people back that way either...so of course there was no traffic. I throw a push rod, motor seizes, NO cell phone, NO flashlight and it was about 18 degrees that night on top of that, this was the THIRD time this car had left me stranded (just not this bad)...so I walked....and I walked....and I walked....then woke up some complete stranger and asked them to use their phone to call my old man...listened to a little he came and got me and we went and got the car the next day...never drove the hunk of crap again...but you know, that car had 127,000 miles on it, was modified and I probably wasn't giving it the TLC that I should have been...my point: when ANY vehicle (even the "everlasting" Cummins and everything else that comes with her) gets into the 6 digits on mileage, they ALL start requiring a little more TLC, ya feel me?
