52128692AE 1 J, T Right $232.00
52128693AE 1 J, T Left $140.00

Kind of confused why such a big price difference? Same difference on Leeparts as on moparonlineparts.

Any ways it is quiet on a long right turn, and noisy straight or on a left turn, so I assume it is the right bearing, but I just want to do them both considering they both have 90K on them.

I was really asking what is the difference in the two wheel bearings left vs right that would change the price that much? $100?

Just because they can,they are identical from side to side.They did the same thing when I bought disc brake parking brake cables,$30 price difference between the 2 sides and the cables are identical but labeled left and right so they charged more for one then the other.

Thanks guys, I just ordered one Timken from Rock auto. I decided one at a time is OK, never know how long you will own a vehicle any ways? No sense in dumping in extra money?

Got it all done in an hour and 1/2 from the time I took the tire off until I put it back on. I used a 1 7/16" socket for the shaft nut, a little sloppy but it did the trick with no slipping. I also had a gear puller to push the spline through, it had very little rust on it. The hardest part was get the bearing assy separated from the casting it was rusted in pretty good, but a hammer and a chisel made short work of that.
