This page covers the 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota: 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004. Other years live on the main Dodge Dakota wheel bearing page.
The front hub choice on this Dakota comes down to one check: whether the truck has rear-wheel ABS or four-wheel ABS. There is no year where that changes.
These rows are shared with the Durango through 2003, which is worth knowing when a local counter is short on stock.
Year by year
1997 through 2004 share one pair of numbers, 515032 and 515033, split only by ABS type. A 2001 Dodge Dakota wheel bearing order looks the same as one on a 1998 or a 2003 truck.
The rear stays axle territory for the whole run, with no hub number to document on this page.
Wider sourcing thanks to the Durango
These front hub rows are shared with the Durango through 2003, since the two trucks used closely related front ends. That shared sourcing can make parts easier to find for an older Dakota.
The next generation, covered on the 2005-2011 Dakota page, moves to new hub numbers and keeps a similar ABS split.
Diagnosing a 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota wheel bearing
- Check for play with the wheel off the ground. Grip the tire at 12 and 6 o’clock and rock it. See how to check a wheel bearing for the method.
- Listen for a hum that shifts in turns. A worn front hub often changes pitch leaning one direction. The pattern is on wheel bearing noise in turns.
- Confirm the ABS type before ordering. Rear-wheel and four-wheel ABS trucks use different front hub numbers, and mixing them up wastes a trip.
- Watch for an ABS light along with the noise. A failing front hub can trip the ABS sensor built into it. See bad bearing and the ABS light.
- Treat rear noise as an axle question. This Dakota runs a solid rear axle, not a hub. Follow axle bearing versus wheel bearing instead.
