Detailed Description

InMotion WT516008 is engineered as a rear wheel bearing for driveline and axle service where stable wheel support and low-friction rotation are required. The bearing’s 2-row ball design helps maintain consistent operation under everyday road loads, while the specified dimensions support accurate replacement selection for the listed vehicles. If you are servicing a Ford Explorer rear wheel bearing, a Mercury Mountaineer rear hub bearing, or a Lincoln Aviator rear bearing application, WT516008 provides the dimensional and fitment details needed for a proper match.

This part cross-references no listed interchange numbers in the provided data. Use WT516008 when the original bearing matches the stated inside diameter, outside diameter, width, and rear position requirements.

What It Helps Address

• Wheel noise from a worn rear bearing
• Rough or inconsistent rear wheel rotation
• Excess friction in the hub assembly
• Rear-end vibration related to bearing wear
• Loss of smooth wheel support in the rear axle area

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rear position, bearing dimensions, and hub configuration before installation. Compare the original bearing’s inside diameter, outside diameter, and width to WT516008, and verify that the vehicle uses a non-driven rear bearing arrangement. Proper press-fit procedures and clean mating surfaces help support correct bearing seating and service life.
