Hey my truck has started making a grinding noise w/vibration up front driver side and I suspect the wheel hub assembly. I took off the wheel and rotating by hand I can hear a noise right at the hub. I want to make sure I get the right hub assemblies and from what I have read there is only ABS all around or no front ABS but rear ABS (on 4x4's which mine is). I do have an ABS light that comes on the dash when putting the ignition in the on position by not starting the truck. I took a couple pictures can someone verify for sure if this is ABS up front or not? I don't think it is but I see some type of sensor on the hub?

Thanks.

FYI this is a 2005 Ram 1500 SLT 4x4 5.7

Also I read the main nut to hold on the assembly is 35mm. Is that correct?

I thought after 2002 they came standard with four wheel ABS. I could be wrong though..

My 2005 has only rear wheel. There IS a sensor on the front driver hub though. Not sure why, but there is. If there is a wire on the passenger side too, then it is 4 wheel abs.

If you have the original build sheet it'l tell you. If not you can send an email to chrysler asking for a copy of the build sheet. Somebody posted the link to it somewhere here.

Like 05RAM said, rear abs systems only have one abs sensor on the drivers side front hub as well, nothing on the passinger side. So it is possible that it is rear abs only.

I do not believe you will have any problems. Unless they cost more than the versions for a truck without abs just use them.:headbang:

The vehicle speed sensor is done using the tone ring mounted on your rear ring gear.

Driver side hub

I have a 2007 ram if you have 2 sensors up front then you have 4 wheel abs
if there is only a sensor on the driver side you have rear wheel ABS the sensor that is only on the driver side front is for cruise control if your hub every goes bad do not replace it with an after market hub your cruise control will not work it has to be an OEM hub I found out the hard way
