4wd Hub Replacement

[Caman96]

I bought Timken for mine (K2500) through Rock Auto. The Timkens come with new wheel studs.

Funny, I didn’t even notice that. But I got Timken myself.

It may be based on a particular model number. I was pleasantly surprised to see them included in mine since the GM wheel studs aren't cheap.

I just looked at Timken SP580302/SP580303 for a 3500. They don’t come with wheel studs.

6 or 8 lugs? When I bought new 8-lug Timkens from Autozone in 2007 (It think), they came with studs. When I've looked them up on Rockauto they always say they don't. New studs are nice.

When I had to replace a hub last time, I didn't have a lot of spare $$$ so I bought a Advance Auto house brand.

8 lugs. The SP580302 and SP580303. I inspected the contents when I received them, to ensure I wasn't getting a used part. And that's when I noticed each box came with a bag of 8 new wheel studs. I wrapped each wheel stud by itself so the threads don't get messed up, hence a pic of only 1 stud, otherwise I have to unwrap the other 7, but I'm eating dinner, so just grabbed a pic of one. But, yup, 8 new wheel studs per hub.

Maybe the factory screwed up and gave me freebies? Wouldn't be the weirdest thing to happen I'm sure.

Well that’s the truth then! I guess RockAuto doesn’t know what they have. My NOS Timken came with studs installed.

What do the bearings say? Made in USA? Wouldn’t be surprised if new Timken had KOYO bearings since KOYO bought Timken. That’s not a bad thing either.

I spoke with a Rep a Richmond Gear awhile back and he told me that products they sell with Timken bearings sometimes have KOYO bearings since they bought Timken.
