As one of the most essential parts of any vehicle, the Rear Wheel Hub assembly is responsible for three key functions: 1) Keeping all wheels attached (highly critical!), 2) Controlling the brakes (anybody tow?), and 3) Safely supporting the rear axle weight.

Two common failures experienced with factory 2012-2018 Ram 3500 cast iron Dual-Rear Wheel Hubs are wheel bolt hole elongation and loose bearing cups.

Wheel bolt hole elongation is usually caused by improperly torqued wheel nuts and the symptoms are instantly noticeable and must be addressed right away!

When bearing cups break free and spin in the Hub, the first symptom is often usually a leaking rear wheel seal. If the problem is not corrected by installing a new Hub, additional irreversible and potentially catastrophic part damage may occur.

If you drive a 2012-2018 Dodge RAM 3500 dually truck, we offer a tremendous, top quality billet steel DRW Hub assembly that's custom-made and exclusive to Torque King to keep your vehicle operating smoothly for your demanding drive. Read on to learn more about this premium rear axle part.

Features of the TKA11792 DRW Hub Assembly

What makes the TKA11792 DRW Hub assembly stand out from other aftermarket and replacement assemblies is the fact that it's exclusively manufactured in the United States from tough billet steel to exact standards. Our team of experienced professionals work on each Hub assembly using CNC machining processes to achieve the desired product. All hubs are made with premium-quality billet steel and then tested through our quality assurance methods to guarantee full usability upon purchase. We also build each Hub assembly with new QU11712 Wheel Studs, plus QU50377 and QU50411 inner/outer bearing cups from Timken® to ensure the wheels continue to rotate/spin properly.

The TKA11792 is a direct replacement for the Torque King QU11144 OEM (RAM 68138151AA) Rear Hub assembly. Currently, our QU11144 original equipment Hub is only sporadically available, so we've prioritized our development efforts on the TKA11792 to offer our customers an alternative that meets or exceeds the benefits of the original equipment Hub assembly.

If you decide to purchase the TKA11792 DRW Hub assembly, you will want to inspect your brake rotor and rotor bolts. If needed, we have these available:

RAM recall notice:

New Safety Recall Advanced Communication – Y26 dated 5-28-2021

FCA US LLC (FCA US) has announced a safety recall on certain 2012 through 2021 Model Year (D2) Ram 3500 Pickup, (DD) Ram 3500 Cab Chassis, (DP) Ram 4500/5500 Cab Chassis trucks.

REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL Some of the above vehicles with flanged lug nuts may have their lug nuts over-torqued during service due to an incorrect torque specification in the Service & Owner's manuals. A yielded wheel stud may eventually break, which could lead to a wheel separating from the vehicle during operation. A wheel separating from the vehicle could cause a vehicle crash without prior warning and/or the wheel/tire could pose a risk to other vehicles or pedestrians.

SERVICE ACTION FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall to inspect the wheel studs and update the torque specification in owner's information and published service documents. Vehicles found with studs that are potentially yielded will have a new stud installed and the lug nuts tightened to the updated torque specification. Dealers will be notified of the launch of this safety recall by way of established communication methods. This recall is estimated to launch in the 3rd Quarter of 2021.

We ask that you please take the time to ensure that your personnel are aware of this communication and are prepared to execute a customer friendly process for inquiries regarding involved vehicles.
