    There should be a tag on that axle, post the numbers or a pic of it here. You can look up parts from those numbers.

    If you have a Fleetpride around they might can help you find a compatable hub.

    When I did wheel bearings in my truck I got the same sorta deal. All of my bearings were extended life bearings, something I'd never seen before.

    Nobody had them, they weren't available, "we can sell you a new hub assembly" business.

    These extended life bearings were the same size as standard drive and steer bearings.

    I got rid of the crush sleeve, new standard races and bearings, and we're still happy 215k miles later

    I hope they can help you. Like I said they tracked mine down right down to the bearing numbers with me just giving them the VIN.

    And like I said earlier if you really can't figure it out, get to those bearings.

    I think I saw a catalog somewhere online that it was I think Gunite or one of those other Hub companies and they had a catalog that listed them by the bearing sets.

    It's been so many years since I've even looked into any of that, but I have antique trucks and the guys always want to put newer hubs on them and the bearings are what it's all about as far as I know.

    I'm closer to Philadelphia but I've always dealt with Transtec Freightliner near me for freightliner parts.

    I understand that Campbell Freightliner in New Jersey I think they're in north New Jersey is supposed to be much larger and they have better access to certain parts from what I understand.

    There are some really big dealers out Harrisburg and west and if you call different dealers you may find a different result. Some parts guys are much better than others and some will give you part numbers to cross over.

    Do you have dtna connect? That would tell you right there what your front axle is and it may give you the part number of the Hub.

    Actually now that I'm thinking of it, where are your vin sticker is on the door I think that's like a line item sheet isn't it? Doesn't that list what actual front axle you have?

    If not any dealer should tell you what axles engine transmission Etc came from the factory with your truck by your VIN number.

    Thats exactly what i’ve been told.changing the bearings is beyond my mechanical abilities.the problem is finding a shop who’s willing to find the parts and do the job.

    I'll try to double check this hub tonight, bilut I think it will work. Sometimes ypu gotta do what ypu gotta do. The hub may not be exactly the same as the other side, may look different, may not be non-serviceable. I've replaced aluminum steer hubs with cast, because you just can't always get parts.

    Webb has a hub finder on their website. You'll need spindle measurements to help guide you. But, I'd just about bet money you can walk into any place, ask for a steer axle 10 hole hub pilot hub that takes a 35066 seal, and it'll work.
