Description

Overview

The G2 73 to 77 GM Dana 44 Front Wheel Bearing Kit, part 30-8008, is for the front wheel bearings of a Dana 44 axle. The title names 73 to 77 GM applications, and the product lists no model.

G2 Axle and Gear sells these kits to replace front or rear wheel bearings. It is a front position kit.

Front wheel bearing service

Front wheel bearings carry the weight of the vehicle and the forces from steering and braking, so they wear as the miles add up. A bearing in poor shape usually makes a hum or growl that changes with speed, and the hub may run warm. Rocking the wheel at the top and bottom can reveal play.

When bearings are replaced, clean the spindle thoroughly, inspect it for scoring, and fit a new seal. Pack the bearings with a suitable wheel bearing grease and set the adjustment with care. A bearing set up too tight or too loose will wear quickly, so take time with the final adjustment.

  • Replace the seal when the bearings come out
  • Clean the spindle and hub bore
  • Check brake components while the hub is apart

Questions & Answers

Does the G2 30-8008 fit a 1975 GM truck?

The title names 73 to 77 GM applications, but no model is given. Confirm the GM application for your vehicle before ordering the bearing kit for the front axle from G2 Axle and Gear.

Is the 30-8008 kit for the front or rear?

The front position, per the axle location in the product specifications, so it is not a rear kit and should be matched to the front Dana 44 hub.

What axle type does the 30-8008 kit use?

The Dana 44, per the specifications, so match the kit to a Dana 44 front axle before buying it for a GM truck.

Should the hub be replaced along with the bearings?

Not always. Inspect the hub bearing surfaces and the spindle for scoring or heat marks. Replace the hub if the surface is worn, since a worn surface can damage a new bearing quickly.
