The bearing dimensions are critical for proper hub alignment, rotor support, and smooth wheel movement, making this part number FW177 a direct-fit choice for repair work that requires accurate sizing. SKF’s long history in bearing technology is reflected in its focus on controlled load handling, low-friction operation, and manufacturing consistency.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Front wheel noise caused by worn bearing surfaces
  • Excessive wheel play or looseness at the hub
  • Rough rotation that affects steering feel
  • Vibration from a deteriorated front wheel bearing
  • Uneven hub support on Ford Contour, Mercury Mystique, or Mercury Cougar front applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the inside diameter, outside diameter, width, wheel pilot diameter, brake pilot diameter, and flange diameter before installation. Confirm the vehicle is a front application and match the bearing to the hub and brake components on the specific Ford Contour, Mercury Mystique, or Mercury Cougar model year. Clean the mounting surfaces and inspect related hub and brake parts for wear before assembly.

Quality Assurance

SKF manufactures bearing components to controlled quality standards focused on durability, motion efficiency, and safety. FW177 reflects SKF’s bearing engineering background and is built for dependable front-wheel service in the listed applications.
