Tech Note 1: Kit Includes
QU50411 Timken® Outer Wheel Bearing Cup
QU50412 Timken® Outer Wheel Bearing
QU50396 Timken® Inner Wheel Bearing Cup
QU50398 Timken® Inner Wheel Bearing

Tech Note 2: Design
Although heavy duty Dodge, Ford, and GM trucks had brand specific 4x4 front axle parts such as spindles and wheel hubs, they all used the same front wheel bearings and seals for the Dana 50 IFS (Ford), Dana 60 (all makes), and Dana 61 (Dodge) for approximately two decades. You will probably never see that type of part interchangeability again.

Tech Note 3: Timken Bearings
I am a real strong believer in using the best parts and service procedures available especially when working on heavy duty trucks used for trailer towing or vocational applications. With our Torque King® Kits, you get the best: Timken® bearings.

Tech Note 4: Lubricating
Properly lubricating and adjusting your front wheel bearings is critical for long component life. The spaces between the needle rollers must be completely filled with a clean, quality grease such as PP14. QT5500 Bearing Packer does a great job of packing your bearings and keeping the grease clean between jobs, but you can hand pack the bearings if your hands are CLEAN. Wheel bearing adjustment procedures will vary by year and make, but typically, most shop manuals specify front wheel bearing end-play in the 0.001" to 0.009" range.
