2wd front hub/rotor change 04-08
I am about to tackle the front Rotor on my truck. Is the conversion to two units instead on unit worth it?
Prices for Advance Auto Parts and Napa for the Rotor&Hub assembly aren't too bad. The ford Dealership wants almost $200 for the Hub and Rotor part # BR303. Just the parts from ford would run me $400 just for the front R&H.
Any Recommendations and tips. I already read some threads. I would love any updates on the quality of the conversion Kit.
Thanks

i bought the 2 piece setup a while ago. had to go through some deep water crossings a few times and the bearings starting going out. the bearings are not replaceable on these 2 piece units so you have to order the hub/bearing part without the rotor. i couldnt wait that long for delivery so i went back to the one piece setup from autozone. u can replace the bearing on these one piece ones and u get a one year or more warranty.

Get the Centric conversion kit.
I got two sets of hubs on hand, just in case a bearing goes south with a couple extra spindle nuts on hand too.
I can pop the bad one off, and put the new one on and at my convenience, press the bad bearing out and press the new one in. I love it.
Luckily, I haven't had the need to do that yet.
Whatever you do, DO NOT RE-USE the spindle nut. It's stamped right on there... don't want to see your wheel come off down the interstate.

Ok I have not had same luck, I am on second set of Centric hubs with bearings, they are leaking grease and getting noisy again. I have actually talked with them last time as localizing failing side was not easy. I love the set up, but the bearings are only lasting around 40k miles. I have 130k on my 2005 screwcab. My left bearing is going again. Centric warned me to make sure to torque to proper lbs, I went and purchased a 250 foot lb torque and checked multiple times. The grease coming out is not a good thing, it is actually coating the timing gear on hub for the ABS sensor.
