Wheel hub spindle on both front wheels will strip all threads off if you remove them to get to the front U-joints. I spoke with mechanics at local Dodge dealer and they said this happens all the time. Their parts dept. Keep this part in stock at all times due to high demand. When asked if Dodge has advised them how to correct this continuing problem they stated "no". the problem is, if you start to loosen the nut that holds the hub in place it will just sit there and go round and round stripping the threads. My mechanic was told, when he inquired about this that this ia common among the 1994 and 1995 models. The cost to replace is between $100 and $170 per side, just because I believe the threads are to soft on the hubs and they strip upon loosening. I can understand these things happening from time to time but based on the comments from the local dealers mechanics and parts person this is common. I do not think this right and I believe the hubs are defective. Thanks for listening.....ron smith.
