Applications

Tech Note 1: Maintenance
Dodge AAM 9-1/4" axles do not have lock out hubs so all front axle components are constantly rotating as you drive. A front axle rebearing job is a preventive maintenance service that should usually be performed on Dodge Ram trucks with 150,000 to 200,000 miles on the odometer to prevent catastrophic bearing related failures.
