Detroit Axle - 4WD Front Wheel Bearing Hubs for Ford F-250 F-350 Super Duty 2011-2016, Replacement 2012 2013 2014 2015 F-250 F-350 Super Duty (SRW) Wheel Bearing and Hubs Assembly Set

A lower cost alternative to factory parts. Very nice machining of hub and bearing surfaces.I took one box (wheel hub) out after I jacked the front axle up and put it on jack stands. The previous day I sprayed oil on all 4 wheel hub studs and 2 caliper bolts on both sides and ran errands for about an hour to warm up the hubs. Mine is an 2014, F350, 4WD with well over 200K miles.The ABS/traction control electrics took about 15 minutes to remove and I had recently installed new pads so, calipers were just as easy - hook a doubled-over coat hanger to the spring and use it to hold the caliper/pad up. Just letting it hang will weaken/break the rubber line - plus it's pretty heavy. I couldn't get my impact gun in without moving the wheel so a good breaker bar makes short work of the 4 wheel studs. The last and most problematic for me was the external snap ring and 106 degree temp outside. You really have to find the correct size that will open the ring enough to remove it from the spindle. Smaller than 7 inch - not enough leverage and 13 inch are just a little to big to open the ring without hitting the sides of the hub. I picked a pair of specialty ford external snap ring plyers for 2007 and newer. They are curved and ratchet so the ring stays open. My 7 inch plyers worked too but not a easy. After the ring, I used a wheel puller I've used for about 40yrs to separate the hub from the spindle. The O-ring on the hub minimizes the amount of milkshake (grease/water) inside the hub. Cleaned up the dust shield and spindle area - then unpacked the Detroit Wheel hub.. No studs in the box? No!!!! I already had my blue thread locker opened.. Immediately I thought.. Both hubs were in one brown box and it was ripped open along with the internal boxes. I should have opened both boxes and inventoried the contents before starting. Went in and opened the other box and there they were.. Both sets of studs and snap rings. Put the thread lock on the studs put some grease on both sides of bearing and hub o-ring. Everything went back together as it should. Oh back to that snap ring.. You need to use a pick to see if the groove in the axle can be accessed. My neighbor did his last year on his 250 and called me to check his problem - no grove to close/secure the ring. He borrowed my wheel puller and it can push the axle back toward the housing and not exposing the grove. A screwdriver between the axle tube bearing can push the axle out about 1/4 inch to expose the grove. I suggest Marine grease if you dive in or through fresh/salt water. Easy to open the 3 hex bolts on the hub cover and clean/replenish the grease. Pics 1 Marine grease, 2 Gap in front axle to expose o-ring grove, 3 external snap plyer choices, 4 new hub w/studs, 5 wheel puller, 6 hub axle depth, 7 ratcheting angled specialty plyers, 8 installed hub, and 9 snap ring in the "grove"!!!

I bought these hub assemblies a month ago. Had them installed 2 weeks ago. I took a trip up north and started hearing a little buzzing noise but thought it was my tires. It wasn't! Every day it got louder. 2 weeks...2 WEEKS is all i got out of this hub assembly!!! Also if you have a problem and need to warranty parts you have to pay shipping both directions out of pocket. If you just want to return you have to pay for shipping out of pocket. Not worth it! I can't suggest a brand to go with if you need a hub assembly for your f350 but I do know what brand to avoid.***Update*** Both front hub assemblies need to be replaced, not just one. I can't believe I have to replace them already. No help at all from Detroit Axle. Did I mention that all I got was 2 weeks before having trouble with these hubs??! Unbelievable!

2013 f250 is up and running. Good parts.

Shipping is terrible holes in box

Went on good, no issues. Have used several items from this seller with no complaints.

Al recibir el producto y llevarlo al mecánico todo iba bien, pero al instalar las piezas si no tienes la herramienta para los pines de seguridad te llevas una frustración y mas al ver que te faltan piezas y que venía dañada te decepcionanas por la compa

Excellent bearing assembly and was a original Ford part. Even came with new lug nuts. Easy job to replace just need a special retainer clip pliers sold just for this job. Mack tools or Snap on Tools sells it for about $68 bucks. Almost impossible to do without it. Ford does not sell it.
