The guy at the NAPA store says I need new rotors AND hubs! I don't remember them being 2 parts; can anybody confirm this?
Also, I don't remember having to pull the bearings to R&R brakes. I wonder if he's looking at the 4WD parts page? |

Did you look them up on Rock, Oreilly, AutoZone etc to see what they show?

I did and they show a single assembly.
I don't remember having to remove the bearing assembly either. The local Les Schwab says the bearings come out too. |

I just did a quick Google image for 1998 Dodge Ram front rotor 2WD. That did show it’s a one piece unit like most older cars had. Dodge didn’t really update Rams until Mercedes or Daimler, whoever bought them.
 Attached FileETA That’s an eight bolt but same style. |

That's what I remember. I'd love to bring in the old rotor to the parts guy and see the expression on his face! He'll probably say "Oh, you said it was a 4wd truck." Which I didn't: I said 2wd at least 3 times. Mine has 5 lugs. eta And it STILL requires pulling the bearing. This'll be a backyard job, I don't have the ca$h to have a mechanic do it. |

Okay I FD'd again. It's the right rear squeeking. I drove past my wife and that's what she heard.
LOTS less expensive, and less work. Thanks to all for responding! It's what makes Arfcom worthwhile! |

Don't worry about pulling the bearings, it's a cake job, I was doing those when I was 15 or 16 for my dad. I'm sure youtube can help you out.
