What did u do to your raptor today?

I'd definitely like to see a review on these, especially after some time spent driving in  ALL conditions. What's the noise level, the steering feel, the difficulty to install, the fitment, etc. The only reason Dorman hasn't sold MILLIONS of these is either the price, perceived value, or reliability and day to day driving experience.

i have the Dorman IWE deletes on mine. No difference in noise/feel yet. Not even a dip in MPG (as if it could get worse).

How long have they been installed?

What a PITA to remove these axle shaft bearings! Even with a slide hammer tool they were like heat welded onto the housing. I had to cut one to be able to chisel them off!

Cool. I’ve put about 6800 on my truck since I bought it last February. It’s my daily but I don’t drive much so these should last a while for me.

Got the new ones in…Was waiting for the second one, somehow the dealership parts experts misplaced an oil pump bearing for these ?

i just squeeze some lube in the zerks when i changed the oil and seems fine.

Maybe I’m stupid, but who’s out here rebuilding oil pumps? Especially on a ford where going to a melling is always the best option.

I assume you initially have to pack it with wheel bearing grease upon install?
