  1. Yes! I bought our '07 Edge FWD in May, and replaced both rear wheel bearing assemblies in July after the right rear started howling on the way home from a road trip. Overall, it's an easy job - I say that because I am an auto tech - but the thing is, even with the lower mileage, the hub corroded itself into the cast iron spindle assembly, so I negotiated it out with an air hammer. Use anti-seize on reassembly and it all goes back together easily. Four T-55 or T-60 torx type bolts hold the bearing assembly on the knuckle. Oh yeah, you'll most likely have to replace the ABS sensors too, as they like to fall apart when you remove them from the bearing. Again, easy fix. I bought two Timken brand wheel bearings and both rear Motorcraft ABS sensors from RockAuto.com and paid around...I think it was $200-$225 shipped. Going into buying the Edge, I knew that they had wheel bearing issues, but not a big deal to replace. I think it's a supplier issue (SKF, I believe? Not FOR SURE) Overall,my wife and I love this car, it rides nice, good power, looks great and tons of room.
  2. I have Goodyear Fortera on my 2007 SEL FWD. They seem to ride nice, and have excellent grip. I haven't driven in the snow with them yet, but they seem to do quite well in rain. The noise level isn't bad either. Just my 2 cents.
  3. My wife and I purchased an '07 Edge FWD last weekend, it too has some corrosion around the outside of the rims. It's not really an issue to me, as it's not that bad. I've been told by several people that it's a rather common problem with the 18 inch wheels. So far, I have to say I absolutely LOVE this vehicle. With 38K miles, it still feels tight, rides great, and ZERO squeaks&rattles. I just wish I got to drive it more. Ha! It's alright though, Looking to by a 2011 Mustang GT next spring. Permanent smile.
