Default Wheel bearing.

I’ve got AWD SS with 270k on stock drivetrain. Front wheel bearing is letting go. I thought you could swap to the newer spindle to go to aluminum but can’t find the info. Been looking for a week now. Can you correct me or show me the direction? Thank you.

You can do so.

I don't know if this gives part numbers or the correct info but it is a start. Didn't have time to scrub through it at work.

That’s a 2wd front end. That would be different wouldn’t it? I actually follow him already.

No that is a 4wd front end in that video. His UglyTruck is a 2wd but that frame he was building is a four wheel drive. If you watch the video it mentions how he was mounting the diff or something like that. I don't remember.

I stand corrected... it was 14 and up . It was only certain packages that had aluminum knuckles. Some also got aluminum a-arms from 2014-2020

I don't have the part numbers for the aluminum control arms but I did find a picture that was posted in a deleted thread.
