Best Hubs
Best Hubs
I need the best hubs made for my truck. I am SICK of replacing them. I am not sure why they keep getting eatin up. But this is the 3rd time and i have had MotorCraft, National, and Timken. The ones that are on there now i had replaced at work and are Motorcraft. So what the best i can get?
guys on 33s have less issues than me. My trucks just hungry and eats them they is nummy
I've had no issues with timkin. I ran 33s for two years til i crashed the truck and didn't have any hub issues on the red truck. Daves truck is just hungry lol
I really hope I don't jinx myself. but I've had 35's for almost 2 years now, and before that 33's since damn near when the truck was new. and i'm still on stock hubs at 68k miles. you have some sort of issue other then the tires thats causing it.
i did some offroading yesterday and what do ya know

Dave, do you think that you hitting that rock has anything to do with all of your front end problems?
I know that you said it was welded up and stuff. I remember you also saying that you had problems getting your tires re-aligned. But what if something somewhere is still tweaked or twisted?

Taylor you hold a very strong point. This is in my thoughts of the issues with the front end. I have camber plates and the alignment is corrected. But something could have shifted and may not effect the alignment. The cross member plate I welded on I took off 2 weeks ago so that could have caused a shift. The reason I took it off was I needed to gain acess to remove the LCA. I don't want to heat the cross member to pop the dent out and further weaken the structure, ya know? So I'm kind of stuck on where to find the issue why they are going so quickly. Axles and CV's? The front end since August has gotten the following
UCA ball joints
LCA new
New lower ball joints

Maybe heat it, bend it back, then replace the plate for extra reinforcement?
This is the only thing that I can think of Dave.
