Where is a good place for them? Vehicle is currently still under warranty, however a recent alignment showed some play in the bearing. I have a $100 deductible. So for $100 I get a new OEM bearing. What are others using?

Timkens from autozone. Not a large selection of aftermarket.

Thanks for the replies, currently it is under warranty. If I replace I will probably stick an lockout setup on it.

Rock-auto.com. Is the cheapest place for actual timkin bearings. They were half price of auto-zone.

Timkens should be fine, just don't use any of the cheap brands, even Dodge's Econo line. We had a couple of customers bring them in with their trucks for us to install. Most of them require some grinding to fit. After the second set like that we refused to use them.

When mine go out I'll be changing the hole works. Yea its about $2k but if your keep the truck.....I think its well worth it. Just my 2 cents.
