Review on Detroit Axle - Front Wheel Hub & Bearing Assembly Replacement: πŸ”§ Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan, VW Routan, Ram C/V - 2pc Set by Doug Cardello

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect fit, solid piece

Includes ABS sensor, cable and cable holder. The whole unit fit perfectly in my 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan. I heard a lot of noise up front, crunching, starting at about 30 mph. Removing the old bushing took the most time. I've tried many different ways to remove the hub, a hammer, a larger hammer, a pneumatic hammer, a jack for the hub bolts, the hub press only worked to force the axle out. I ended up going to HD and bought a 3/8" female coupler (it's an inch nut) with a 1" bolt. I screwed the bolt into the clutch and put it between the hub and the bracket and unscrewed the bolt. Doing this from the top and then the bottom and moving the hub was a lot less work than grinding it for an hour. If I were to use this trick again, I'd end up with a 1/2" bolt and nut. I bent a couple of 3/8" bolts while unscrewing them.
