The Timken HA590166 hub assembly is a premium, pre-greased, and pre-sealed unit for select Dodge Ram trucks from 2006 to 2008. Easy installation and a long service life make this a smart choice for Dodge owners. Timken’s advanced features ensure reliability, safety, and excellent performance for your vehicle’s wheel system.

This HA590166 hub assembly is specifically designed for use on Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models. It fits front wheels on most four-wheel-drive models produced from 2006 to 2008. Always double-check your truck’s specifications before purchase to confirm compatibility. The assembly is ready to install right out of the box. It does not require extra greasing or sealing, which saves time and trouble for DIYers and professional installers alike.

One key feature is Timken’s integrated raceway and hub design. It provides up to 30% more stiffness than older systems. This extra rigidity results in better handling and more responsive steering. The sturdy assembly reduces flex during driving and cornering. The tight design helps maintain wheel alignment and improves tire wear. Reduced unsprung weight also allows easier maneuvering and helps boost your truck’s fuel efficiency.

Timken has engineered the HA590166 hub to fight off road noise and vibrations. Its premium seals use a ribbed rubber interior and tough outer shell. The unit’s internal system keeps dirt, water, and debris out, protecting your bearing from early wear. These seals also include vents that help prevent damage when being installed. These features all help the wheel bearing last longer, reduce maintenance costs, and improve the smoothness of your ride. You may even notice better braking, since the wheel’s movement stays consistent and steady.

This hub assembly is built with a universal fit in mind. It works with both driven and non-driven wheel set-ups, making it a flexible solution for many Ram models. Installing the HA590166 means you need fewer parts in inventory, which is great if you service multiple vehicles. You get all the essential components you need, including the bearing and hub. This makes it a complete, all-in-one repair solution for front wheel ends.

Timken has also included advanced sensor technology in this hub assembly. The built-in sensor accurately monitors wheel speed—even at zero. This information helps your vehicle’s anti-lock brakes, traction control, speedometer, odometer, and trip computer function correctly. The sensor is mounted inside the assembly and shielded from dirt, salt, and moisture. This protection keeps your truck’s safety and performance systems running reliably, day after day.

The self-clamped design reduces stress on both the CV joint and spindle. This helps extend the life of surrounding drivetrain components and prevents common bearing failures. It keeps repair costs down and improves overall reliability. With up to 20% less weight compared to traditional wheel hubs, this model also helps your truck use less fuel for every trip.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Question: What Dodge Ram models are compatible with the Timken HA590166 hub assembly?
• Answer: The Timken HA590166 hub assembly is compatible with front wheels on many Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models made between 2006 and 2008, especially those with four-wheel drive. Fitment can vary by axle and trim level, so always check your owner’s manual, or match OEM part numbers, to be sure this part fits your truck. Proper fitment guarantees both safety and durability for your wheel bearing replacement.
• Question: How does Timken’s integrated raceway and hub design improve my truck’s performance?
• Answer: Timken’s integrated design improves stiffness by as much as 30%. This leads to tighter handling and better control when driving. By combining the raceway and hub, your truck faces less flex and enjoys more consistent steering. The lighter build also reduces unsprung weight, making it easier for the suspension to react to bumps. This helps your fuel efficiency, maintains better tire life, and ultimately gives a smoother ride in all driving conditions.
• Question: What are the main advantages of a pre-sealed hub assembly?
• Answer: With a pre-sealed hub like the HA590166, your bearing is protected right from the start. You do not need to add grease or worry about sealing the parts during installation. The sealed design keeps out water, dust, and debris, which can cause fast wear or failure on regular bearings. Because it’s sealed in the factory, the bearing is also less likely to get contaminated or misaligned during installation. You get a longer-lasting part that needs less maintenance over its lifespan, making it a hassle-free solution for truck owners and mechanics.
• Question: How does the built-in sensor benefit my driving and safety systems?
• Answer: The internally mounted speed sensor in this hub assembly delivers precise readings for your vehicle’s electronic systems—like ABS, traction control, and speedometer. By placing the sensor inside, Timken shields it from rocks, salt, water, and heat, reducing the risk of sensor failure. This helps your truck’s safety features work correctly at all times, giving you dependable braking and stability, no matter the road or weather.
