Pretty common, i would use the best available (SKF/Timken/Mopar) hub. Cheaper ones wont seem to last very long.

I can see this being a problem on a 4x4, but on my 2002 Ram 2x4 the front wheel bearing could not be repacked You have to buy a complete pre-packed hub...Evidently re-packing wheel bearings is not done anymore or there have been too many failures by guys never trained in the art. I learned from my one and only failure nearly 50 years ago.

Yep, pretty common for them to fail. I just had to replace them on my 07 as well, 130k miles and redid the whole frontend due to bad death wobble.

I agree its common for them to go bad.Dosent seem what vehicle either.Replaced a lot at the shop.Be glad they arent like the early Mopar type like in Neons etc.They had to be pressed in and out and the hub is usually reused.I also agree with no cheap bearings.We had a few customers at the shop want cheap.They didnt last long.Most were going bad again within 4 months or so.Rocky
