Veterkins Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 I find it ludicrous that BOTH right and left wheel bearing assemblies have now failed on my 2007 Edge within 1 year of each other! WTH? I expect better out of FORD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 LOL a 2007. Not sure if you are stating sarcastic humor, but I replaced six on my 2008. Bearings fail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Were these OEM Ford/Motorcraft assemblies? They now have a 2 yr/unlimited mileage warranty on parts, so hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
