TRQ Front Drivetrain Kit CV Axle Shaft & Hub Bearing Assembly - Direct

In this review the TRQ Front Drivetrain Kit is evaluated for owners of 2006-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 trucks who need a direct OE replacement for front drivetrain components. The kit includes two front CV axle assemblies and two front wheel bearing and hub assemblies, offering a complete 4 piece solution to restore steering feel and front-end reliability. It is best for DIY mechanics and professional installers who want a straightforward, vehicle-specific replacement without modifying factory geometry, and the biggest reason to consider it is the convenience of replacing both axles and hubs in one matched kit.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed as an OE replacement so installations follow factory alignment and mounting points for quicker, predictable fitment.
• Complete 4 Piece Kit: Includes (2) front CV axles and (2) front wheel bearing & hub assemblies so both sides are refreshed at the same time to avoid uneven wear.
• Premium Seals: Upgraded elastomer seals reduce contamination risk and help extend service life compared with older, worn seals.
• Moly Greased: Assemblies are packed with moly grease and a grease shield to reduce premature wear and help maintain smooth operation under load.
• Tapered Roller Bearing: Uses tapered roller bearings which are suited for wheel-load handling and help restore steering responsiveness.
• Aftermarket References: Cross-referenced to several aftermarket numbers so parts sourcing or verification is easier for installers.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at owners of 2006-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 trucks with 4 wheel drive and two-wheel ABS who want a like-for-like drivetrain refresh. It suits DIYers comfortable with axle and hub work and independent shops that prefer to replace both axles and hubs together to save time and ensure matched components.

It may be less suitable for owners seeking OEM branded parts or those worried about long-term boot durability based on mixed owner feedback; anyone who needs lifetime warranty-backed OEM hubs or who prefers to replace only a single damaged component should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good fit and finish for the vehicle application, making installation smoother and reducing adjustment time.
• Comes as a complete set so both sides are renewed, which helps balance wear and steering feel.
• Quality materials and upgraded seals help extend component life compared with worn factory parts.
• Value for money when replacing multiple front-end components at once versus buying pieces separately.

Cons

• Some customers have reported mixed boot durability, including occasional boot tears under heavy use.
• Noise level reports are mixed, so a small number of vehicles may require further troubleshooting after installation.
