| Description of the problem | Both front hub bearings were completely shot on my 2001 dodge ram 1500. The truck has only 51,000 with no off road use. There should be no reason to replace sealed hub bearing after only 51,000 miles. Continued use could have resulted in the front wheels locking up with a resulting accident.*ak |
