Default Heavy Duty Front Hubs

Are the new heavy duty front hubs with the tapered bearings a sealed bearing like the stock unit? Not getting any response over in the Tech section, but I figured you guys would know.

They're sealed / non-serviceable like the stock hubs.

Yes, they sealed, and the ABS encoder is inside the sealed unit. BTW, the bearings sold by the other vendor are not the same as these. When in doubt come here, I am almost always on this forum. They come with studs installed, but ARP racing studs are available. For sure get the bearing fastener kit, it is a huge improvement over the OE Torx bolts. We are the distributor of them so if there is anything you want to know, please ask!

Thanks for the info, I'll be getting both the hubs and the fastener kits soon.
