Bad front hub

[GeneralTJI]

I replaced my front driver side at about 110,000. Didn't really have any noticeable side effects, just happened to check them with it on my lift and it had 1/2" play in it. I'm a little dissapointed that one went out that soon (no lift, big tires etc.) But from the sounds of it a lot of guys don't make it that far

Hopefully the rest will last a while... think I paid about $170 for a Timken. Not a bad job, although that tutorial was nice to have!

both of mine went out at around 95k a month apart. not a sound just tire ware and about 1"+ of play when I jacked it up.

both of mine are still good somehow. When i put my new wheels and tires on i checked the hubs and that was just maybe 2,000 miles ago.

I bought my truck with a bad hub. It screamed for mercy for a few weeks before I replaced it.

Seems different truck have different symptoms. Mike L found Blues the truck shook, Wendy just had a high pitch squeak that drove me nuts, Casper we checked after every LSR pass.

Wendy's where replaced at 35k & 37k. I think it has something to do with my 4wd launches :witch: :driving:

If you want to know, RockAuto has a good price on the Timkens. $151/pc.

That's where I'm planning on getting one.

I think those ones are for 2wd's, but the pic looks like 4wd.

Edit, do even the 2wd parts have the splines in them

my pass side hub had about 1 inch of play in it... driver side is as tight as a well you know what

x2 Mine went out at 48,000 miles. Absolutely no sounds or symptoms. I had just drag raced the previous night going over 110 It was so bad I don't know how the wheel didn't fall off. The funny thing is the tire didn't even lean in like a bad ball joint

Yes they do. Same hub for both.

I've noticed my truck pulling while racing in 4wd but nothing else? Jacked both sides up and the driverside was moving couple mm's nothing major. For 99K miles 70k of those with 40x15.50x22 on and the rest towing and drag racing I'd say they did hold up pretty well.
