Greetings
Getting close to finishing a frame off restore of my 2002 Dodge 1500 SLT. Rebuilt the engine and transmission and transfer case and rear end. I am having a hard time finding what others did with the front end as far as axle bearing replacement. The truck was jacked up with the torsion bars and chewed through CV axles until I recognized that it was turned up to far by the prior owner. How have you folks guaged when to tear into the front end and if so, where have you found bearing kits. I have new seals from Rock auto, just cant find the right axle bearing. I haven't had any troubles thus far, but have done 99% of the truck at this point and they seem to find the weak link in the chain.
