Hi guys,
The name is Zach. I currently do not own a Ram but I am really close to purchasing a 2002 1500 ST from a co-worker. The reason of my registration on the site is to learn about some of the known problems the truck has.
The most critical problem that I am worried about is the front wheel bearings are claimed to be "loose". This statement is coming from Grismer tire when they did an inspection after a brake job.
I have priced new hub assemblies, but what I don't understand is how does a wheel bearing become "loose"?
I also did a search on the forums about wheel bearing issues, and found a few threads that warranted reading, but nothing in terms of a DIY on changing the hub. Easy to do? Pain in the butt? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Love the site here, hoping to get this truck and become a valued member!!
