[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 990702, member: 52972"] Many Sport Trac owners have had to replace 4x4 front wheel bearings much earlier than 109K miles. 4x4's used sealed hub bearings that cannot be serviced like conventional wheel bearings. In addition, the 4x4 front hub bearings must be pressed out of the spindle assembly and the new bearing pressed in. This involves major dis-assembly of the front suspension., plus the bearings are not cheap. You might be able to get a lower labor rate at an independent garage, and probably get the Hub bearings cheaper too. ...Rich PS: corrected my dyslectic typo of 190K miles instead of 109K miles...:banghead::banghead: [/QUOTE]
