2000 Dodge Durango hub bearing question?

TacomaJD · Dec 8, 2014

Vehicle: 2000 Dodge Durango SLT, 5.9L 360, 4wd, rear wheel ABS only, so the front hub assembly is not one with ABS. 203k miles...so stuff is wearing out on it.

Working on replacing hub bearing and tie rod end on the girlfriend's Durango. My question is about cheap priced hubs online, are they worth fawk? I know there are some things "you get what you pay for" isn't necessarily true, so I'm curious about these. Cheapest low end brand hubs at Advance and Oreilly's is $96.99 plus tax and up. This one online branded "Part Master" is a lot cheaper.

Would you suggest "stay away from cheap online hub bearings" or are they okay and on about the same quality level as the low end brand ones from the parts store?

Also if any of you work at a dealer or something and could get one for a bang up deal, I have Paypal and a mailing address molaugh

Not a fawking thing wrong with partsmaster hubs, or any of their parts really. Installed a bunch of their **** the past 2 years with very few failures.

Working on the girlfriends car huh? Yep, whooped already. She is leaving your ass after you get that dewrangho fixed up. :flipoff1:

Haha nah just can't stand the thought of her getting ripped off by local shops around here. Done told her she ain't gettin' oil changed at Walmart no more, and if she does, she is to ask for something other than a Fram oil filter lol.

That's what I was wanting to hear though, cuz I don't do enough of this stuff to know what is ok and what to stay away from. It's $48 on that website then shipping is like $27 which is retarded, but $75 is still cheaper than $105+ after tax.

Re: Re: 2000 Dodge Durango hub bearing question?

Fawk that damn hub/rotor! Busted the rotor with sledge hammer first, finally got it off the hub with a porta power. Then after a bunch of beatin and use of the porta power again, the hub came off. Them wore out bearings have created some major heat to bond those metals like that. I believe you could have took all the bolts out and still drove the truck across the country without the wheel falling off. Fawkin Dodges....lol
