Yukon Gear 99-04 Ford F250 SD / 99-07 Ford F350 SD w/ 4 Wheel ABS Hub Bearing Assembly

Front Hub Bearing Built Tough for Ford Super Duty 4WD Work

The Yukon Gear YB U515056 is a front unit bearing and hub assembly engineered for 1999-2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty and 1999-2007 Ford F-350 Super Duty trucks equipped with 4-wheel ABS and 4WD. Whether you're hauling heavy loads down the highway or pushing through rough terrain, this hub assembly delivers the structural integrity and bearing precision these trucks demand. Yukon Gear builds it to meet or exceed OE specifications, using alloy steel construction rated to ABEC 7 tolerances for smooth, quiet operation and long service life. It fits both the driver and passenger side, and the ABS sensor is pre-integrated so your 4-wheel ABS system continues to function exactly as designed.

Engineering and Construction

This front hub uses a sealed ball bearing design with an alloy steel hub flange and a pre-installed ABS tone ring matched to the factory sensor gap. The four-bolt square flange pattern mates directly to the Ford Super Duty steering knuckle with no modifications required. Eight M14 x 1.5 wheel studs are included, and the assembly is grease-packed from the factory so no additional lubrication is needed during installation. Yukon Gear manufactures this hub to withstand the severe duty cycles that Super Duty trucks face: heavy towing, payload hauling, and off-road use.

Fitment Details

This hub assembly fits 1999-2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty and 1999-2007 Ford F-350 Super Duty trucks with 4WD and 4-wheel ABS only. It does not fit 2WD or rear-wheel ABS configurations. Single Rear Wheel (SRW) only, not for Dually (DRW) applications. Also fits 2000-2005 Ford Excursion 4WD with 4-wheel ABS.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this hub bearing fit both 4WD and 2WD Super Duty trucks?
No. This hub assembly is designed for 4WD applications only. It will not properly fit a 2WD F-250 or F-350 Super Duty due to differences in the knuckle bore, spline count, and axle interface.

Is the ABS sensor included with the YB U515056?
Yes. The assembly comes with an integrated ABS tone ring and sensor port built into the unit. Your OE ABS sensor plugs directly into the pre-formed port on this hub, keeping 4-wheel ABS fully functional after installation.

Will this fit my 2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty 7.3L Power Stroke diesel?
Yes. The YB U515056 fits 1999-2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty with 4WD and 4-wheel ABS regardless of engine: 5.4L V8, 6.0L V8 Power Stroke, 6.8L V10, and 7.3L V8 Power Stroke applications are all compatible.

Does this hub bearing fit a Ford Excursion?
Yes. This assembly also fits 2000-2005 Ford Excursion 4WD models equipped with 4-wheel ABS.

Can I use this on a Dually (DRW) F-350?
No. This assembly is designed for Single Rear Wheel (SRW) configurations only. Dual Rear Wheel F-350 trucks use a different hub assembly and are not compatible.

What are the torque specs for the hub mounting nuts on a 1999-2007 Super Duty?
The four hub mounting nuts should be torqued to 133 lb-ft in a criss-cross sequence. Caliper bracket bolts torque to 166 lb-ft. Tie rod nut torques to 67 lb-ft.

Does this hub assembly require any modifications to install?
No modifications are required. This is a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory front hub on compatible Ford Super Duty trucks. The four-bolt square flange pattern aligns directly with the OE steering knuckle.

What warranty does Yukon Gear provide on this hub assembly?
Yukon Gear covers the YB U515056 with a 1-year warranty against manufacturer defects. As a drivetrain component, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protects your vehicle's powertrain warranty from being voided solely because you install an aftermarket replacement part.

How long does it take to replace a front hub bearing on the 1999-2007 Super Duty?
For a shop-equipped technician, expect approximately 2-3 hours per side. The job requires removing the brake caliper and rotor, disconnecting the ABS sensor wire, and unbolting the four hub mounting nuts from the rear of the steering knuckle. The axle shaft does not need to be removed in most cases.

Does this fit both the driver and passenger side?
Yes. This hub assembly is the same on both sides of the front axle on compatible Ford Super Duty trucks. One assembly covers either the left or right front position.

Installation Instructions

1. Safely raise the vehicle and support it on jack stands. Remove the front wheel.
2. Remove the brake caliper and bracket. Hang the caliper safely, do not let it hang by the brake line. Remove the brake rotor.
3. Disconnect the ABS sensor wire connector and unclip it from any brackets along the knuckle.
4. From the rear side of the steering knuckle, remove the four hub mounting nuts. The hub assembly may need to be tapped free with a rubber mallet.
5. Thread new M14 x 1.5 studs into the new assembly and secure them using a double-nut method before installation.
6. Apply wheel bearing grease to the needle bearing at the rear of the hub and to the O-ring in the steering knuckle bore.
7. Route the ABS sensor wire through the dust shield, then carefully slide the hub assembly into the knuckle with the ABS port facing upward.
8. Install and torque the four mounting nuts to 133 lb-ft in a criss-cross pattern. Reinstall the snap ring, washers, and locking hub.
9. Reinstall the brake rotor, caliper bracket (166 lb-ft), and caliper. Reconnect the ABS sensor. Reinstall the wheel and torque lug nuts to 165 lb-ft.
10. Lower the vehicle and pump the brake pedal to seat the pads before moving the vehicle.
