Customer Guides

Summary

  • The Dodge Ram 1500, a  full-size pickup truck,  easily gained popularity all across America because of its utility, style and towing ability. 
  • Hubs are round metal components that are designed to spin even while carrying heavy loads.  It houses the wheel bearing and supports the lugs. 
  • A wheel hub typically costs around $70 to $200. 
  • Symptoms of a faulty wheel hub bearing: noise, vibrating steering wheel 
  • Although there are self-help videos online on how to replace your wheel hub, it is strongly recommended that you contact your trusted mechanic to do it for you.

 

It was in 1981 when Dodge first introduced pickup trucks carrying the RAM name. It was first introduced as the redesigned Ram and Power Ram following the retirement of the Dodge D Series pickup trucks. The Dodge Ram 1500, a  full-size pickup truck,  easily gained popularity all across America because of its utility, style and towing ability. Since it was introduced in the market, it has been a consistent A-lister among its competitors in the segment. 

 

When we think of a vehicle’s most critical components, we often think of the vehicle’s transmission and engine. However, aside from these two, one important component of every vehicle is its wheels. In order for the wheels to work properly, it needs to work hand-in-hand with other components such as bearings, bolts, sensors, and most importantly, the wheel hub.

 

What is a wheel hub? 

The wheel hub is the first thing you see when you pull the wheels and brake rotors off of your pickup truck. Hubs are round metal components that are designed to spin even while carrying heavy loads. It houses the wheel bearing and supports the lugs. Tires are attached to the hub assembly using studs. The hub assembly fits into an axle that connects it to the rest of the car. In short, the wheel hub is the bridge between the tire and the entire vehicle. Aside from the wheel itself, the rotor disc, brake calipers, and anti-lock braking system (ABS) harness cable are also installed in the hub assembly

 

The main function of a wheel hub is to keep the wheel spinning freely while keeping it attached to the vehicle’s frame. 

 

A wheel hub typically has two basic components: a hub and a bearing. 

 

The hub is basically the round metal where you mount your wheel on. Depending on the year, make and model of your truck, it can have four or more studs that are protruding outward. 

 

The wheel hub bearings, on the other hand, refers to the set of steel spheres. These spheres eliminate friction to help the wheels spin freely. It is found in the inner portion of the wheel hub directly facing the metal axle shaft.  

 

Driven vs. Non-driven Wheel Hubs  

When purchasing a wheel hub, you get to encounter two varieties, which are driven and non-driven. Non-driven wheel hubs do not support the driveshafts, while driven wheel hubs support the shaft and make your wheel spin using splines and grooves. The kind of wheel hub used for your vehicle will greatly depend on its type. For example, non-driven wheel hubs are mostly used for the rear tires of your front-wheel-drive vehicle because the rear wheels do not need to swivel. 

 

There have been many generations of Dodge Ram 1500 ever since it was introduced. Make sure you are getting the most accurate fit for your vehicle by inputting the correct year, make and model into our search engine.

 

How much does a wheel hub cost? 

A wheel hub typically costs around $70 to $200. Wheel hubs are usually sold individually but there are also four-piece and six-piece kits available for you to choose from, which prices range up to $1,000. Some kits already include anti-brake sensors and lug bolts. You can check the product description for a more detailed list of what is included in a wheel hub kit.

 

What are the symptoms of a failing wheel hub? 

The wheel hub itself is a straightforward metal part. What often becomes faulty is the wheel hub bearing. Here are some of the symptoms of a worn-out wheel hub bearing and other related wheel damages:

 

Noise  

Whatever kind of noise it is, if it is not usual, then it might be a sign that something is not right. Typically, when the wheel hub bearings are damaged, it will emit a roaring or grinding sound coming from the tire or the wheel area of the vehicle. The grinding sound is caused by the friction inside the bearing. A misaligned or cracked bearing might be the culprit in these scenarios. 

 

Another sound that you should watch for is a clicking sound that increases especially when the vehicle speeds up. The clicking sound might be due to a broken bearing inside the wheel hub assembly.

 

Vibration

Aside from the noise, one of the most obvious reasons that something is wrong with your wheel hub assembly is a vibrating steering wheel that worsens when the vehicle speeds up. Steering inputs might also feel jerky, especially when making turns. 

 

Aside from these symptoms that you can watch out for, a certified mechanic can also detect other more complicated symptoms during an oil change.

 

Replacing a faulty wheel hub will cost you money but a properly working wheel hub will save you from more unnecessary expenses and accidents in the future. Although there are self-help videos online on how to replace your wheel hub, it is strongly recommended that you contact your trusted mechanic to do it for you. Wheel hubs are critical components, therefore, it is important to ensure that it is installed properly. Loosely fitted wheel hubs might cost your vehicle to lose control.

How to tell the size of the wheel hub required for a Dodge Ram 1500?

The owner's manual should have a specifications guide to the axle width, bolt pattern, and flange diameter of the wheel hub. If not, the specifications, or the part number should be engraved on the stock hub. Aside from these, the side wall of the tire should reveal the dimensions; the last set of numbers after the letter "R" is the hub size. Without the proper wheel hub size, the entire assembly will not be installed.

 

Is the location of the Dodge Ram 1500 wheel hub replacement important to remember?

If the wheel hub is the classic type, yes. Classic hubs are configured differently for the front and rear end of the vehicle. However, the case is not the same for the universal disc. It is designed for rear, front, and single speed hub ports. For universal discs, there's no need to be meticulous about the location it is going to be installed in.

 

Is the wheel hub easy to install on a Dodge Ram 1500?

With the proper mechanical knowledge and patience, yes. In essence, removing the rotor and ABS wires will provide access to uninstall the old assembly, and to fix the new one in. A new wheel hub will cost around $200, and labor will probably cost a little more than that. By personally doing this, a considerable amount of money can be saved.

 

Is the wheel hub on a Dodge Ram 1500 repairable?

No. A wheel hub does not become damaged, it becomes worn out. If this happens, driving will prove to be a dangerous activity since the wheels will have alignment issues. A worn-out wheel hub has loose fittings that will make steering a challenge—the tire may even detach from the assembly if the issue persists. Once the symptoms manifest, it is imperative to replace the wheel hub assembly to avoid any inconvenience, or accidents.
