Front Bearing Assembly

[knucklehead12]

I read where the axle nut takes a 1 5/16.

Is this correct?

Timken is the OEM manufacturer for Chrysler. SKF makes the internal beatings for the American Rears. I'm thinking the outer bearing is the Timken. It's going to be 1/2 the price. I'll tell you, the best deal I found on the Timken stuff is on Amazon, believe it or not. My front wheel bearings were 60 bucks less there than anywhere else. But I have a RWD. It's the same bearing as yours without the hole in the middle.

Another engineer I know in the industry told me to squirt more grease in the bearings through the brake sensor hole. You'll need a needle injector for the grease gun. The pink grease is good for that and steering joints. This is the same guy that makes the Shibby Engineering air horns and delete kits. He also designed the brake systems on the 3rd gen 25 and 3500's.

I was not aware the Timken made the bearings.

I thought the Hub Bearing Assembly ( Factory RAM ) were SKF.

Are we talking about a different bearing?

Just a heads up for everyone.

SAVE YOUR STUDS!

At least for the SRW trucks, you cannot buy matching studs at an auto parts store.

There is a compatible Ford stud, but I couldn't even get those in Spartanburg, SC, so I had to buy an entire wheel-bearing assy.
