What This Wheel Bearing Helps Address

  • Wheel noise from a worn rear bearing
  • Excessive play or looseness at the rear wheel
  • Rough wheel rotation caused by bearing wear
  • Seal-related contamination in rear hub service
  • Fitment issues when replacing the original rear wheel bearing on Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer platforms

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the inside diameter, outside diameter, and width against the original bearing before installation. Confirm rear-position application and match the vehicle year, make, and model exactly, especially on Ford Explorer, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, Mercury Mountaineer, and Lincoln Aviator platforms. Clean the hub and surrounding components thoroughly so the new bearing seats correctly and operates smoothly.
