QU11197U Used 1985-1993 8 Bolt Front Wheel Hub for Dodge W250 3/4 ton trucks is a good used original equipment, 8 bolt, internally splined, front wheel hub for stock 1985 to 1993 4x4 Dodge W250 trucks with gas engines and 3500 pound rated Dana 44 front axles. QU11197U is just a used bare hub with good seal and bearing bores.

Tech Note 1: Specs
Wheel stud bolt circle is 8 x 6-1/2". The outer end of the splined wheel hub is about 3-5/8" in diameter.

Tech Note 2: Seals
Some aftermarket sources list two different wheel seals for 1985, however I have only seen (and both Dana and Dodge only list) QU90001 flanged style which fits a 3.303" hub bore. If your early production 1985 truck has an seal with no flange and your hub bore is 3.25", this used replacement hub will work if you order QU90001 Seal.

Tech Note 3: Grease
Before installing your new hub, pack the wheel bearings with QU90018 Pyroplex® grease or other quality, disc brake rated, NLGI Grade 2 wheel bearing grease. I recommend you use QT5500 Wheel Bearing Packer to pack the bearings, but however you pack the bearings, your grease has to be clean and it MUST fill all the air spaces under the cage and between the bearing rollers.

Tech Note 4: Installers
Your wheel bearing cups MUST be fully seated in the hub bores. Our QT1802 Outer Bearing Cup Installer and QT1801 Inner Bearing Cup Installer are the best tools to properly install the cups without damaging the wheel hub or bearing cup surfaces. A wheel seal installer makes it easy to install your new wheel seals to the correct depth. QT1502 Wheel Seal Installer will not damage, ding, or bend the wheel seal and it keeps tension on the seal garter spring so the spring does not jump off the lip (a very common problem with makeshift seal installation methods).

Tech Note 5: Axles
The standard front axle on 1985-1993 Dodge W-250 3/4 ton 4x4 trucks with gasoline engines is a Dana 44 beam type front axle with Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) of 3500 pounds. The end of the wheel hub measures about 3-5/8" in diameter. Standard on the diesel W-250 and optional on the gas W-250 was the 4500 pound rated Dana 60 front axle which has a front wheel hub that measures about 4-1/8" at the outer end.
