Front wheel hub

Posted

Sorry if this has been discussed before but I tried searching and nothing came up. I hear the front wheel bearing humming so time to replace them. I've replaced them once already with Detroit Axle units so I'm wondering what brand everyone has had luck with?? '01 2wd abs with drums in the rear. Thanks for any input fellas & have a great weekend

I don't have any recommendation, but Rock Auto usually has many choices ranging from economy to heavy duty parts. 

 

Just out of curiosity, how many miles on your truck.  I would think that front wheel bearings on a two-wheel drive truck would last for a very long time - especially a truck with a manual transmission. 

 

Edit:  Never mind my comment.  I just looked up the part on Rock Auto and it appears that unit bearings are used.  I thought they were the old style inner and outer bearing which would last forever.

My truck has 335k on it now. I'm not sure how many miles are on the current ones since I installed them but not enough they should need changing again but I've hit some serious potholes so not sure if that has shortened their life
