This page covers the 2000-2002 Dodge Ram 3500: 2000, 2001, 2002. Other years live on the main Dodge Ram 3500 wheel bearing page.
The 2WD front appears in one catalog only. HA590000 is that listing, and the same position also carries the SET814 tapered unit bearing as an option.
That is not a choice between equals. The 2WD front is thinly documented here, so the number on the old part or the VIN decides it.
Year by year
Nothing changes across 2000, 2001 and 2002. Every front and rear listing above spans all three years without exception.
A 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 front wheel bearing is the same part sold in 2000 and in 2002. The real split on this truck is 4×4 against 2WD, not year against year.
One ton front, two documentation levels
The 4×4 front on this truck is well covered. 515063 and the parallel HA590203 listing both point at the same position.
The 2WD front rests on the single HA590000 listing, with SET814 offered as an alternative at that spot. At the 2003 model year the front numbers change outright, to 515061 on 4×4 and 515089 on 2WD, a shift covered on the 2003-2010 Ram 3500 page.
The rear stays a full floating axle bearing set through this whole stretch, not a bolt on hub. It is covered separately at axle bearing versus wheel bearing.
Diagnosing a Dodge Ram 3500 wheel bearing
- Listen for road speed noise. A drone that tracks with road speed, not engine RPM, usually points at a wheel bearing; see wheel bearing noise on a turn.
- Check for play at the hub. With the front end safely supported, grab the tire at 12 and 6 o’clock and rock it. Play there is rarely the tire.
- Separate tire wear from bearing wear. Uneven or cupped tread can sound similar to a failing bearing; tire noise or wheel bearing covers the difference.
- Confirm drive type before ordering. The front number here depends entirely on 4×4 versus 2WD; see drive type and wheel bearings.
- Match the old part, especially on 2WD. With only one catalog covering the 2WD front, use the number stamped on the old part or a VIN lookup, not a guess from the model year.
Common questions
What front wheel bearing does a 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 use?
A 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 front wheel bearing is 515063 on 4×4 trucks, with HA590203 as a parallel listing for that position. On 2WD trucks the front is HA590000, the only listing held for that setup.
What wheel bearing does a 2000 Dodge Ram 3500 2WD need?
The 2000 Dodge Ram 3500 2WD front runs HA590000, thinly documented since only one catalog held for this truck carries it. SET814, an optional tapered unit bearing, is listed at the same position.
Does the Ram 3500 front wheel bearing change between 2000 and 2002?
No. Every front listing on this page, for both 4×4 and 2WD, covers the full 2000 to 2002 span without a change. The change happens right after this run, at the 2003 model year.
Is the Dodge Ram 3500 rear wheel bearing a bolt on hub?
No. The rear is a full floating axle bearing set, covering 1994 through 2002 without a change, and it is axle service rather than a bolt on hub swap.
Can the HA590000 and SET814 front listings be treated as equal options?
Not as a free choice. They sit at the same 2WD front position, but that position is thinly documented rather than genuinely two equal picks. The number on the old part decides which one to order.
