Hubs Bearing or Wheel Bearing

[jnhuber]

Today I replaced my stock hubs with warn hubs. I did this because it was making a really loud popping noise. Replacing the hub did not fix the problem. My questions are. Is there a bearing back further inside where the hub is or is it just a wheel bearing that is making the noise. Also after driving the hub that I am having a problem with is warmer than the other

may be the wheel bearing, but not too sure. what kind of hubs did you take out? are they the auto hubs?? i am looking to replace one of mine and dont know if i want to go with a non-auto and lose my convenient auto 4x4 feature. let me know!

I replaced my auto with manual locking hubs. I always lock mine if I want to use for 4x4.

Sounds like your hub bearing assembly. I just replaced my a few months ago. Not to bad of a job after youve done it once. Mine was popping like crazy and would almost stop the truck from rolling.

was there anything wrong with tthe stock hubs??? you looking to get someone to take them off your hands? hint hint..

Is the hub bearing assembly the entire hub which costs around $300? The old locking hubs look good they need a little cleaning and some grease but I'm no expert.

yeah they are pretty $$$$. i dont care if they are dirty, i can clean them. are they in good working order???? any issues with them? i dont think it is the bearing too though. i would have to ask and see.

i called my local dealership and they have themin stock for 293.00, for one. i dont know what they would be worth used.

One of them turns a little rough but the place I changed them at said that it just needs to be cleaned and lubed up real good. It has some scratches on the outside but its just cosmetic. How much do you want to give for them?

not too sure bud. let me call around and see what they go for used, then once i see if mine are bad ill let you know! thanks man!
