Timken's Hub Assembly

I am doing the passenger side ball joints and hub assembly this coming weekend so I bought a new one from Auto Zone for $167 and thought I'd share some pics. Look real nice and came with the studs and yellow o-ring as well. Too bad they stapled through the o-ring and broke it.

I'd advise against doing just one side too. In order to do it right, you should get an alignment after replacing a ball joint(s). Save up and do it all at once, then get it aligned.

The driver side has a new hub assembly, OEM locking hub, axle u-joint and ball joints. Now it's the other sides turn.

You probably won't need to align it. Where are you going to get a new O- ring now?

I was just looking at doing the passenger side on mine and use the timken one also. My drivers was replaced in summer of 2010 from an accident I was in. When I had it apart doing a brake job, I noticed that the passenger one doesn't wanna roll near as easy as the drivers one does. I think I can feel it sometimes when I take off from a stop sign or red light. Feels like a slight " hesitation" or something before the truck wants to move. Very little and only sometimes though.

Since yours is a 2001, what thread pitch did you order? Mine is an 04, and I took one of my lugnuts to advance and it threaded right onto the 14x 1.5 . I thought the 1.5 was the coarser of the 2, compared to the 2.0 and I thought after a certain year they changed to the finer thread?
