I am in need of a right rear tag axle hub, (Meritor) and possibly a (Meritor) brake rotor as well.
So far, I have found the hub for 1397.00 Part#
A333U4181
And the rotor for 240.00 Part#
3218K167
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
John

I am a little confused. You have part numbers and prices, what help are you seeking?
Confirmation of part numbers?
Different source?

I believe he is looking for a less expensive option.
When I had to replace my front steering knuckle (spindle), I was telling a friend how much the parts cost.
His reply -
If you're going to eat like an elephant, you better be ready to $#!t like one too. . . . .
Put things back in perspective for me.

Thanks for the replies guys, Yes, I'm just looking for better prices if possible. I figured or hoped maybe someone had been in my shoes and had a line on a better deal. That's all.

Find it Parts was where I found the best price on my Steering knuckle.
I found a kingpin kit (both sides included) on ebay for $60. Was a brand new Meritor kit.

Thanks Kyleb, That is where I found the hub also. 1400.00 just seems pricey for one.

I understand, List price for my steering knuckle was over $1800 !
After thinking about it for a while & not being able to find a better price, I decided that I'd be happier with a new knuckle than without the coach. I increased the amount I was putting in "The Newel Fund" each month & bought the parts required.
I have not regretted it for an instant. $$$ well spent !
Cost over $1200 for front tires, not looking forward to dealing with the drive axle . . . .
