The short version
- The 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 wheel bearing up front is HA597851 on a 7500 lb GVW truck.
- An 8800 lb heavy duty package instead uses HA590020. Four wheel ABS trucks use handed hubs: SP580100 on the right, SP580101 on the left.
- 2WD trucks stay serviceable the whole run: seal 4740, inner set SET45, outer cone and cup 15101-15245.
- Rear axle bearings split by axle tag and brake size, either Spicer 60, Spicer 80, or the 9.25 inch ring gear.
Dodge Ram 2500 trucks from 1994 through 1999 pick their 4×4 front bearing by the GVW package. Trim level does not decide it. Two wheel drive trucks stay serviceable instead.

This page covers the 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 2500: 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999. Other years live on the main Dodge Ram 2500 wheel bearing page.
The GVW package on the door sticker decides the 4×4 front hub, not the model year alone. On top of that, 1998 and 1999 four wheel ABS trucks use handed hubs.
SP580100 fits the right side only, and SP580101 fits the left side only, so name the side before ordering.
Year by year
1994 through 1997 4×4 trucks split by GVW package alone: HA597851 or HA590020. 1998 and 1999 add the handed ABS hub option, SP580100 and SP580101, on single rear wheel trucks with four wheel ABS. Two wheel drive trucks run the same serviceable setup every year, 1994 through 1999.
The rear axle bearing never follows the model year at all. Anyone still searching the 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 wheel bearing number for the rear should check the axle tag and brake size instead.
Where this generation sits in the Ram 2500 line
The 2000-2002 Ram 2500 moves the 4×4 front bearing to new hub listings and drops the GVW split seen here. None of the 1994 to 1999 hub numbers carry forward to that page.
Drivetrain still separates most of the work on this truck, the way it does on many 4×4 versus 2WD platforms. Rear axle bearings stay their own category on both pages, distinct from the front wheel bearing question.
Diagnosing a Dodge Ram 2500 wheel bearing
- Confirm the GVW package first. Read the door sticker before ordering a 4×4 front hub, since 7500 lb and 8800 lb trucks take different parts.
- Check for ABS wiring. A 1998 or 1999 four wheel ABS truck needs the handed hub, not the standard GVW hub.
- Watch the ABS light. A failing handed hub can trip a fault at the hub mounted ABS sensor before any noise shows up.
- Rock the wheel at 12 and 6. Play in a 4×4 front hub or a rear axle bearing shows up here first.
- Identify the rear axle before ordering. Spicer 60, Spicer 80, and the 9.25 inch ring gear each take a different bearing and seal.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 use?
The 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 wheel bearing up front is HA597851 on a 7500 lb GVW truck, or HA590020 on the 8800 lb heavy duty package. A 1999 truck with four wheel ABS instead uses SP580100 on the right and SP580101 on the left.
What wheel bearing does a 1994 Dodge Ram 2500 use?
The same GVW split applies: HA597851 for a 7500 lb truck, HA590020 for the 8800 lb heavy duty package. The handed ABS hub option does not exist yet in 1994.
Are the 1998 and 1999 Ram 2500 front hubs handed?
Only on single rear wheel trucks with four wheel ABS. SP580100 goes on the right side and SP580101 goes on the left side, each with its own sensor kit.
Is the 2WD Ram 2500 front wheel bearing serviceable?
Yes, every year from 1994 to 1999. It uses seal 4740, inner set SET45, and outer cone and cup 15101-15245.
What determines the rear axle bearing on a Ram 2500?
The axle itself, not the year. Spicer 60, Spicer 80, and the 9.25 inch ring gear each carry their own seal and bearing numbers as axle bearings.
