Ridgeback Ray Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Hi Fellow Edger's Would anyone have any experience of a 2017 European model (not that it should make a difference on this issue) hub bearing failures ??? Had car since new and has been great, not a single issue. Now at 45,000miles and a droning on a wheel. Pretty sure this is a hub bearing fault as noise increases with road speed, not engine RPM. I have checked the play in the wheel and nothing obvious, either in the 12-6 position or 3-9 position. No vibration on steering wheel when driving and brakes work fine / no squealing. So I have ordered a replacement hub and chosen a SKF unit for £110. Ford wanted nearly £300 a unit to supply only. Anyone any idea of the correct torque for this hub ? Also for the rear incase the sound is travelling and it is a rear unit. Many thanks if you can advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
